Guys,

I enrolled at Michigan Theological Seminary, I am doing a 2 year undergrad program in Biblical Studies. Now I am doing a Theology class and a Biblical Hermeneutics class this semester, at nights.

The toughest thing so far has been reading the assingments handed out by the prof. That is where I am having the most difficulty, trying to figure out exactly what he wants to be done in the work.

Besides the Marines and follow on trade type schools for the Airlines and now Real Estate, I had zero college experience going into it. So the whole academia part of it seems so foreign to me and that is where I am having the most trouble with. But, so far I have been doing 'ok' and as time goes on I am getting the hang for what is expected.

The GI Bill is paying for the Seminary, well paying me back. I have to front the coin up front and they are sending me checks monthly.

I don't know where it will take me, I am looking forward in that journey. I tried keeping it on the DL from my Church as not to make a big deal about it, but the Seminary required that they get involved with the application process. My Pastor and the Assistant Pastor have been so motivating and so very supportive in prayer and offered help if I fall down. My wife has committed her self to Christ as well and she was awe struck that I said I wanted to go (even more happy that the FEDS are paying for it and my investment in the GI Bill in 1990 ).

If you can add me into your prayers, I would be most thankful. I have an FTP site that I am doing today to upload some work if anyone is interested.

Thanks

I would be interested in seeing the website work, if it's not too much trouble.  Glad it's going well.
