We're halfway there... living on a prayer
The holidays have come and gone. Monday begins a whole new term of classes, issues, discussions, papers, exams, readings and work. Sigh. It was good while it lasted.

End of Term
This is it. We have lasted here at college for 6 months or so, half way through this first year, and there is only one more day to survive before holidays... But that one day?
That is exam day... This will be the first time in many many years some cadets have sat a formal test like this and we are all pretty stressed and are struggling to cram everything in. To make things even worse it is a Theology Exam. So not only are we nervous about sitting two hours and trying to recall information - we are trying to recall theories and ideas, some without definitive answers at all!
Added to this pressure is a full exegetical study due in the same day. So all you out there who read this, please continue to pray for us all as we struggle through this one more day, and then spend the next two weeks recovering and being refreshed ready to begin a new semester bright and fresh. Please pray for all the colds and flu to miraculously disappear so we can have clear minds for recalling and forming answers.
But for today, we must all get back to studying - defining the 'Problem of Evil', discerning differences between 'Source' and 'Form' criticism, defining all the 'omni's and trying to describe the indescribeable God. Plus much much more! Fun stuff.
