Personal Note: Heading Back to School
04/10/2005 13:06 Filed in: Personal
Saturday a week ago, I received my acceptance letter in the mail granting my re-admission to the doctoral program at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary . Thank-you to all of you who have been praying for me in this regard. I will officially enroll as a student in the Fall semester with the seemingly heady tasks of taking comprehensive finals in November and presenting a dissertation prospectus sometime before then.
Unfortunately, this means that I will no longer serve as chaplain or teach classes at Whitefield Academy as there is no way I could do both. I do hope to find part-time work on the seminary campus. Currently, I am scheduled to teach at Indiana Wesleyan University through the beginning of June, but will then take a hiatus from teaching there until my comps are over at Southern.
Over the next few weeks, I will begin transitioning back to student life again, organizing my notes, re-researching a dissertation topic, and if I am able to obtain it, setting up study space over at the seminary library.
I would still ask for your prayers, especially in regard to the comprehensive finals since I have not been in the program since 2000 and have a lot of catching up to do.
