Can't believe I finished the first year!!!

It is now 10 1/2 months since starting this adventure in ministry and I can't believe how much I have learned. Looking back to September I have learned 2 Biblical languages, a ton of theology, worship and preaching, Old and New Testament and Church History. Up ahead is more theology (by my choice), more work with languages, Christian Education and Reformed Confessions.

It will be nice to have 6 weeks off before the start of the fall semester. Seminary is a long tough academic road, not to mention spiritual and emotional. This has been a year of growth and change. What a ride!

Summer Greek Song

In carrying on the tradition of parody song writing for class, here is the Summer Greek Camp edition.

Summer Greek (Summer Nights)

Summer Greek had me a blast
Summer Greek happened so fast
I met a lion cute as can as can be
Met a boy, doughy you see

Summer days driftin’ away
To oh-oh that summer Greek
Tell me more, Tell me more
Did you find all the nouns
Tell me more, Tell me more
Participles abound

Found a verb it was ερχομαι
3rd principle part, made me sigh
In the paradigms I nearly drowned
Ending and augments left me splashing around
Summer sun, Greek has begun
Well, oh-oh that summer Greek

Tell me more, Tell me more
2nd Aorist changes its stem
Tell me more, Tell me more
αυτοις means to them

Recognition that’s where it starts
Brackets and underlines etched on my heart
It is marked, what to do now?
Identify, please show me how
Without translation, don’t mean a thing
Well oh-oh that summer Greek

Tell me more, Tell me more
Some words add a nu
Tell me more, Tell me more
Better than losing your mu

Doughboy ran off, found a girlfriend
Both got lost, but returned at the end
Even Aslan came in from the hall
We’re ready for Bi 216 in the fall

First year dreams, we’re full to the seams
No more, ooh, Summer Greek
