According to yesterday's horoscope I will be rewarded for the work I've accomplished, as I've learned this semester, I guess only time will tell. I've been shown how Paul was masterful at the way he pastored and mentored people. Without being overly harsh or arrogant he put people in their place by being honest with them out of love. He found ways to teach them that were familiar to them and sometimes had special significance to them. Paul's consistancy and passion for the health of the local church is to be admired and imulated. I think that churches today could use some honesty out of love and concern rather than leaders being afraid of rejection or retaliation. I know now by looking at Paul's letters that their is a way to communicate concerns to a body of believers out of love for them without attacking them or insulting their intellegence.
Outside of that, I've learned an abundance of contextual information that I did not know before, and had to relearn some things that I thought wrong. The importance of the culture and civilization became much more apperent this semester. In writing my paper I learned that although there may be questions about who wrote what and when, there is still truth in what we have before us, and by looking past the doubt we strengthen our faith in God and His providence through the scriptures.
I need to apologize for spelling errors due to my drowsiness. pseudoephedrine works wonders. All hail the mighty Drixoral.
Well, that's enough out of me...peace out.
