Made It Through the First Week
Whoa!
I made it through my first week at Calvin Seminary. We finally got Elise Willet's box to her. Lot's of goodies. Jer and I had considered emptying the girl scout cookie boxes first so she'd freak out when we gave them to her. We thought of leaving the cookies in the van so she wouldn't be too dismayed. But, alas, we're just too nice.
Lot's of reading; 60 pages here, 45 pages there, then a report, more 50 pages of reading.... etc. I'm glad I got those reading glasses. The courses are good though; Philosophy for understanding theology, Pastoral Care and counseling, and church history in North America. So far it looks like it will be pretty good.
I am in choir -- don't laugh. I had a chance to play with the chapel praise team this week which was cool. Some awesome musicians even though Calvin Sem is a pretty conservative group (generally speaking). I was told that a few naysayers were conspicuously missing. Oh well.
I'm still waiting for Alger Park CRChurch to get back to me about a second interview for a part-time position there. I met the pastor who said the committee is being frustratingly slow and methodical. Patience is the key here, I guess. Jer and I are going back to church there tomorrow hoping to touch base with someone from the committee to see what's happening.
I'm so excited that Freda is coming next week. Her parents are flying her out here so we can all drive to Ontario for her dad's 70th birthday. It'll be fun.
Jeremy and I are a bit bummed about not being able to see Nate's play, "West Side Story" at Mesa State. I've heard that it is really great. I'm so proud of Nate.
We miss everyone very much.
Blessings to you all this weekend.
'til next time.
