A Busy Week

After many small trips with the van, and eventually with the aid of Rose's dad, we were able to get all of our stuff (minus the TV - that will hopefully come next week) moved into the apartment. If you would like our new address, you can either check my Facebook page, or send me an e-mail, or comment on this post and I'll be sure that you get it.

We do not have Internet access at the apartment right now, so my response to anything Internet related will be delayed.

We are still waiting for the house to sell, so your continued prayers for that are certainly appreciated.

I also intend to start biking to class - at least on occasion and as the weather permits. We are only about 5 miles from the seminary now, so I think my old legs should be able to handle it ... so chalk another one up to the Vagabond family's effort to "go green."

We had new student orientation Saturday. I was able to meet several other new students and I'm excited about the new relationships that can be forged here. One thing I noticed is that Rose and I seem to be "in the middle" of the age range. There are many people younger (10 years or so) than us and some (10 years or more) older than us ... but we didn't see too many in the 30 something range. This is not a disappointment, but just an observation.

Saturday, I also had to take a "Bible Content Exam." Now one would probably think that this should be a fairly simple exercise - a formality really. Unfortunately, I am humbled to say that this was anything BUT a formality. I could only remember 8 of the 10 commandments ... it took me almost 20 minutes to remember the 13th disciple/apostle (the one who took the place of Judas - can you name him without looking it up?) ... I don't know that I ever considered how long the Jordan river would be ... the kingdom's listed in Daniel chapters 2 and 7 - plus the evangelical interpretation??? ... the seven churches written to in Revelation (I got four of them). Now I did get a few right as well, but sometimes it takes a test like this to remind one that the Bible is a BIG book loaded with information. It was a wake-up call to my memory functions that I really need to get back into "student" mode again! Your prayers in this area would be greatly appreciated too.
