Yesterday I received word that I was accepted into the Masters of Theology program at Dallas Theological Seminary. I'll start classes in late August. I'm excited. I'm nervous. It has been a number of years since I was considered a student. All the study habits and tricks of college have faded in my memory. Over the next couple of years, I'll learn two new languages and volumes of historical trivia. And if I don't get in the way, I'll get to know God more intimately.
Reading the course descriptions actually got me excited today--probably a really good sign. Too many courses, too little time. I'm hoping to get started with 12 hours in the fall. With a newborn, that may prove overzealous, but Rayna and I both want to move quickly. So if we can, we're gonna stretch a bit. Rayna keeps reminding me of a slogan I had early in our marriage: "I can do anything for a season." I've stopped saying that lately probably because of some of the recent seasons.
Exciting times!
