It has been a good week.  We got the rest of our tests and papers back this week.  I have gotten at least a 90 on all of my tests and my papers were an A and a B.  I will take all of those and run!  As it gets closer to finals things will naturally slide some as everything comes together at once.  At least it looks like there is some room for that.  I think I am starting to relax just a bit with this. 
We had Homecoming on Friday night.  That was fun.  Halloween costumes, smoked pork, pot luck, band of seminarians played for a while, and a service at 8:00 in the quad.  Fun time. 
We don't have Intro to Bible this week as the professor is out of town.  We do have an Annotated Bibliography due in this class next Monday.  We have all been working on these.  If we have more than 2 formatting errors we get them back to do again.  Not anybody's idea of a fun time.  If anyone reading this is an expert on Chicago Manual Style formatting of bibliography's please let me know, I would love to have an expert set of eyes on this before I turn it in.  We also have a two page paper due in History next Monday comparing St. Augustine's theology to that of Pelagius.  Now that's a barn burner of a topic that should keep us up all night!  I love this place!
It rained most of today and is only 59 heading down to 48 tonight.  In my field church I sang the Kyrie for the first time today.  I have done this a lot but this was a different setting and I have a problem with getting one setting in my head and getting rid of it to put a new setting in my head.  Did that make sense?  Anyway, after practice it went fine, but then I followed it up by starting the wrong Creed.  The challenge here is that our altar is against the wall and we turn to the altar for prayers.  I started, no one followed and I was turned away from them to see what might have been wrong.  Luckily pastor saw what I did and restarted with the correct version.  Oh well, more proof that we are all human.  I seem to love to prove that. :)  Just let me do your will Lord.  What comes from that I am fine with.
How 'bout them Gators!  'nuff said.
There was a weekend retreat to an abbey this weekend.  I just talked with one of the guys that went and it seems like a great experience.  They get up at 2:50am everyday and pray.  They gather to pray 7 times a day, each one being a 30-60 minute service.  I could not go this year as I didn't want to miss my field church.  However, I am hopeful to be able to go next year.  This is the time to experience as much as I can and I can't imagine getting to experience this after I am in a congregation, but who knows what the Lord has in store for me. 
I hope all of you are doing well.  I pray for you and hope that your faith in God deepens and your willingness to turn your life over to His will increases.  Remember the little voice inside is the hardest to hear and follow.  God bless each of you.  Steve
