History of Christianity

Our first class was amazing. The professor is FABULOUS - personable and knowledgeable and enticing. He described our main textbook as a read as good as any novel. Whew. We summarized 1000 BC to about 180 AD in 3 hours. He talks FAST FASTER and FASTEST. Whew.

I was leery even sitting waiting for class to start. But once the prof entered and started talking he reeled me right in.

I am truly clueless about world history, but I actually knew most of what we covered tonight as far as Old Testament history.

I won't be clueless for long! It's time to buckle up! There's a fast track ahead!

Also [finally] received my Personal Assessment papers back. An A and a lot of insight in his comments. Those papers were likely the hardest assignment I have ever had - recalling life events, good and bad, and looking for the hand of God as He has shaped my life. Amazing questions. Amazing assessment tools. Amazingly painful experience. And yet...it was awe inspiring to trace the threads that God has sewn in - to see how certain experiences have shaped me for now and for what is to come. GREAT class and great process of recalling and writing.

So, so far I have a 4 credit B+ (I missed the final exam due to my dad's death...), a 3 credit A and a 1 credit A. Not so bad for such an old student, eh? History is going to take twice as much effort to read...but...tonight I really caught the bug.

Good night! There's no reading allowed at midnight...
