So yesterday was my very first day of Seminary. It's hard to believe that after 10 years I am back in college. Here are a few of my insights pertaining to my first day.
1. I am older than I thought. When the professor began his lecture I pulled out my trusty Moleskine journal [link] and pen to take notes. I looked around and everyone else was using their laptops, facebooking, emailing, and blogging.
2. The amount of facial hair you have is directly tied to how much you love Jesus or how smart you are, or how much you know about the Bible. I shaved my goatee so I guess I don't know much anymore, but like Samson it will grow back.
3. The amount of children you have is a direct indication of your theology. The professor made this very clear as he walked through the following example:
0 children - you are a secular humanist
1 child - you are a materialist
2 children - you are a lukewarm Christian
3 children - you are a 3 point Calvinist
4 or more children - you are a glutton for punishment
4. In reality the class was great and I was so excited to be there. What an incredible privilege to be able to go back to school and to learn about Jesus.
