Update on Southern

I greatly appreciate your prayers last week for me.  As in a previous mentioned post, I was on the campus of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary last week.  Some of my former professors are now at Southern, and I have utmost respect for President Al Mohler.  On Friday of last week, I was locked in an approximately three and half hour exam.  I actually wrote two papers without so much as a Bible.  I didn’t know what the subject matter was going in, and the purpose was to measure your comprehension of a subject and the ability to communicate it.  All papers were submitted anonymously for professor’s critique.  Later that afternoon, I had interviews with some of the faculty members regarding myself and my subject matter.  While I can’t go into all details since the PhD approval/rejection is still pending, it was a wonderfully, draining experience.  God at least for this season has clearly blessed Southern, and it was a joy for me to spend a few days there the last couple of weeks.  I met some incredible Christians, ate dinner with a former professor, and got to tour Al Mohler’s home and especially is famous “Bat Cave” study.  Ramesh and Brian Mustapich know what I am talking about.  You can preview it here- Be prepared to confess your envy later.  

I want to again thank my wife, kids, the leadership of Calvary and my dear church for allowing me this wonderful opportunity and if the Lord wills more to come.
