Tonight is the second night of class and I am excited. In this class we do a ton of discussion, and that is a refreshing change of pace. A lot of thinking, a lot of interaction – I love it.

Janie asked some good questions to my last post, so here is my repsonse.
I loved the class, and God constantly amazed me with the various themes that run throughout the OT. The one that hit hardest was the struggle between our struggle to yield to God-given identity and our desire to create to control our [...]
