Conference

I will be leaving this morning for Ohio to attend a conference at Franciscan University. It's their Applied Biblical Studies Conference and this year's discussion is "Feasts of Israel, Feasts of the Church." I will return sometime Saturday. Until then, check out the Evangelism tactics of Chris Tilling. Watch out, Billy Graham!

My New Bible

My mother just got back from a business trip that took her to Munich, Germany. I asked her while she was there to pick up a German Bible and she picked this little number up for me; Hoffnung Für Alle ("Hope For All") . I'm really stoked as I think this will help me with my German skills. In fact, I think it'll help with Greek too. What I'm doing is trying to look at my Greek NT and figure out what German words correspond. This is probably a pretty sloppy way of going about things, but I figure if I can work on two languages at once, I'm in the money. I've got some German grammar books and mom even bought me a few newspapers to work through as well.

The Summer Blahs

I feel....odd when I'm not in class. I like having homework, papers, tests, lectures, etc. I enjoy learning, discussing with other students, and the whole deal. Granted, I'm reading on my own (preparing for some classes next semester and trying to become more familiar with church fathers), but it's just not the same. So, my question, what do you do to get over the summer academic blahs?
