Saturday Class??

Oh man... so apparently it is Saturday Night right now... i cannot really tell however because i got out of class about 10 hours ago! yeah here at Western Seminary we like to go to class on Friday Night and Saturday morning. So tomorrow i have to work at church and pretty much every other day is taken up... so no Sabbath for this guy. Now granted i don't want to complain cause in the grand scheme of things... life is pretty darn good!! I got a loving wife and a home to sleep... so yeah can't complain. i will share what this class consists of though...

Our class is Missional Church... which sounds awesome and quite frankly it probably could be a really cool class.... here are a couple of problems....

1. Well the obvious issue is that the class meets on the weekend... um yah don't need to go into that... who wants to go to class on Friday night 2-7:00 pm and Saturday 8-12:30 pm!!

2. This eight plus hours of class in two days consists mostly of lectures!!! Are you kidding me?!? i don't think Will Farrel could keep my attention for eight hours... and believe me i think the man is freakin hilarious!

3. We keep arguing about pointless details... (this however does keep it interesting which i am pretty sure why people bring it up...)

4. Today the last hour was a lecture on our prof's political foreign policy... i mean come on... i don't need to hear about my prof's political opinions when i am forced to be there... a little weird.

5. There is so much prep work for each class... discussion posts... then response posts to each member in our group... then a summary of what we learned... this all said amounts to about 1600 words... so what is that 7 pages or so?? oh and 1000 or so pages of reading???

6. What is there nothing practical/pragmatic?? Couldn't we go out and be missional or something... paint a house or something...

Well at least we got the following... some good things

1. We got pizza on Friday... that was great!!

2. Our prof is a pretty nice guy

3. There is internet access...

4. Jesus is Awesome!

i guess that is all for now!s
