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.

To: skippar@regent.edu

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 ï¿½amnestyï¿½ 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. Iï¿½ll
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

Bethel is even cooler than expected

Within 90 minutes of landing in Redding, I learned of Bethel students engaged in business solutions to extreme poverty. Monday I heard a powerful teaching from Bill Johnson on how life on Earth offers us the only chance to worship God in the midst of our pain, suffering, loss, and confusion. When we are in heaven we won't have the chance to give God that gift. Bill's teaching reaffirmed this ongoing theme that suffering matters. Suffering creeps me out but I can not deny that suffering somehow leads to intimacy with Christ. Monday night gave me a few a hours to meet a great house church where blue collar types mingled with Bethel alum. Prophecy and healing flowed amidst their faith and love. God gave me a chance to pray for healing for one of the guys. This tested my faith when his knee actually got a little worse in the first couple of minutes of prayer. That hurt my pride. Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely. V...

Royal Family Kid's Camp

For the last week of August, I spent 5 days tending to foster kids at camp organized by Lake Avenue Church and Royal Family Kids Camp . Our entire mission that week was to be the positive, encouraging memories for children enduring childhoods of questionably dark times filled with unknown forms of abuse. I couldn't tell just by interacting with them what they were dealing with in the other 51 weeks of their year, but I do know that when these campers come back next year, they will remember specific conversations they had with us counselors. My primary job was looking after one particular child, “D-man”. Connecting with D-man was new for me. I'm not a parent. I have no pets, not even plants to care for. Being consumed with thinking about another living being for a week straight was completely new to me. D-man is ADD and required the extra herding that comes with not hearing people when they are calling your name. He's quite the "ladies man" a...
