A busy week

This past week I have been very busy in preparing for my candidacy interview which will be in early May.  My official application was submitted on Tuesday.  The next couple of days was spent in writing and editing my entrance essay.  It was submitted on Friday. 

My next step will be the psychological profile on April 14 & 15 in Kennewick, WA.  I received the initial forms for the profile today.  Wow, they want to know a lot of stuff.  God has been with me as I have stepped through this process and continues to assure me that I am on the right path.

A day of study

Today I spent studying the first few chapters of The Gospels and Jesus by Graham Stanton.  This is part of the Oxford Bible Series and serves as textbook for one of the classes I will be taking in seminary.  I am trying to get a jump on some of the required reading. 

This book offers a good foundation of the Gospel's authorship, the context in which they were written, and several perspectives on how the writers formulated their presentation of the Gospels. I am also gaining insight on the comparatives drawn between each Gospel.

It's really amazing, I am finding myself  seeking more information.  It seems the more I learn the more I want to know.
