Well, it may not be the very first time but it SEEMS that way in my fading memory. I actually was not able to give my class today at the Seminary due to symptoms of a bad cold! When Vivian went over for choir rehearsal, a student commented, "Prof. Carlos is not coming today? He NEVER misses class!" Of course we have to miss when we schedule a trip but that's different, I guess, since we plan ahead and make sure our students work on projects while we're gone. I'm taking medicine, resting extra and hope to be back tomorrow morning for Eschatology class, then Angelology in the PM, Lord willing, and if I'm feeling stronger...
We are off to a good beginning with second semester. Students seem more motivated than usual to get their assignments turned in and participate in class discussions. The second year students especially enjoy asking questions and sparring with one another over theological points. I'm getting into Bible Study Methods with 19 first year students. The study guide I used before is out of print so I had to copy material and make a syllabus. Yesterday we learned the importance of the six observation questions: Who? What? Where? When? Why & How? Next Wed. I will see how they did, asking these six questions and registering their answers, observing Philippians 1:1-11. For most this method is a first, but one that I trust will be repeated many times throughout their lives in studying and sharing God's word.
