I think I can see a bit of letting up in a couple of weeks.  I preach my first sermon for preaching class next week and after that there may be a breath.  I have the rough draft written so things are progressing as they need to.  Tuesdays are a bear with class starting at 8:30 am and Greek ending at 8:30 pm.  Long day.  Thursdays will get better this week as we don't have our 8:30 am class for about 6 weeks.  This class is shared with the Middlers so neither class goes every week.  I am not too sure what will happen in Greek.  I have flunked the last two quizes after getting an A in the Fall semester.  The focus of the quizes is different with this teacher and it focuses on my weakness the translations.  Of course, the goal is to be able to translate.  Having been an engineering major it seems like I am learning a foriegn language with a foriegn language.  The named parts of sentences and all that terribly english stuff are the other foriegn language to me.  Another thing that isn't helping right now is that I have been away from home for 5 weeks with two more to go before I get home for three days.  Our break is longer than that, but we have test in History and Lutheran Confessions when we get back and these are two classes I can't wait until the last minute to study. 

We are working as the Junior Class on something we can do for the homeless here in Columbia.  We meet again this morning to go over what we have found.  I have been too busy with school to get my part of the research done.  I am not happy about that, but have not had a choice.  I am passionate about this subject, especially after my Cross Cultural experience in Atlanta.  That shows you how busy the homework has been.

They say we have a slight chance of snow on Friday night.  That would be great timing.  I hope it does snow....and then melts the next morning. :)

This is all I have time for right now.  Back to flash cards for Greek.  A couple of Bible Trivia questions:
1.  According to Paul who take away the "veil" over the Old Testament?
2.  What is the only gospel to mention Jesus' riding on a donkey?

Answers:
1.  Christ
2.  Matthew
God bless you!
