Another Class Done
February 28, 2009
Today is my final day of lectures for my fifth of eight classes required for my Doctor of Ministry program. The eight-hour lecture day can be grueling. I read once that miners may have to mine a ton of ore to obtain an ounce of gold. Yet that ounce of gold is worth a lot. That is how our class work can be. At times, we dig and drill long and hard and then we hit the vein of gold and it's wonderful. You just have to stay awake and alert during the process.
I got much of my work back from some previous classes and I am pleased with the results. What's more, I am pleased that I am learning so much that will be relevant for my work at hand. But right now, I have one more day to finish one more class, and then have two more back-to-back classes in June. Help me, Lord.
Oh how I feel and relate to your pain. I sit in my "Interpretation and Evaluation of Research" class feeling the same way. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one in the struggle. I will continue to "stay awake and alert" knowing that "gold" is waiting for me at the end. Yes Lord, help us both!
