Lesson Learned: Don't bother with online courses

Note to Self: Most of the value in going to school is forming
relationships with other students and professors. Online classes
piled on top of your already busy schedule just doesn't cut it.

Well our course is over. Thank you for participating. I have enjoyed
reading your posts and interacting with you online, and I hope you
have gained something from our studies that will help you on your way
in the never-ending journey further into the deep things of God.

I was a little concerned this morning when I looked at the exams and
discussion boards and saw so much undone work. Please note that my
recent �amnesty� announcement said, "Just make sure you have all your
exams completed by the scheduled end-of-course date." According to the
Assignments sheet that was November 13. Unless some prior arrangement
has been made with me, you should be finished.

So please finish ALL your work, if you have not already done so. I�ll
give it another 48 hours (for those without prior agreements for
extensions). After that time, there will be a penalty for late work. I
must turn the grades in soon (three NT classes worth) and there are
many, many grades to calculate.

Thank you, and have a blessed Sunday

SHP

Explaining the Financial Crisis and the Bailout

Pat Dorsey is a pretty smart guy, Director of Equity Research at Morningstar. He explains why the bailout is a safety net for Main Street not a bailout for Wall Street. I understand this I just wish there was a better alternative like getting loans from www.prosper.com. Unfortunately Prosper.com only allows loans of $25,000 which just isn't enough for a lot of companies. Maybe Prosper will expand soon to ease the short term credit crisis. Well here's Pat Dorsey's take on the credit crisis:

Praise Reports: Thanks to an anonymous donation my financial support is up to $600 now! Thank you Mr/Ms Anonymous! A childhood friend of mine contacted me out of the blue to let me know he's in Orlando, too.  I haven't seen him since 1997 so hopefully we can get reaquainted next weekend.  He Googled my name and found my address.  God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday.  Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place.  I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days.  Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
