Studying On Campus

Dear Fellow SEBTS Students,

I just heard a good sermon from Robert Gallaty, entitled "When a Divine Appointment Meets a Desperate Situation." He spoke on the following:

1. The Sovereignty of God

2. The Humanity of Christ

3. The Distress of the Disciples

4. The Authority of Jesus

5. The Identity of Jesus

I enjoy listening to Chapel messages. Living in South Korea, I am at a disadvantage, not being able to engage in face-t0-face communion with other students and professors. I miss that.

I started college in a school in North Carolina. I greatly enjoyed that time. The campus had large oak trees scattered on large grass lawns, and ivy running up the sides of the classrooms. The whole place had a special feel of scholarship to me. That was a good while ago, 1979.

Now, I soon expect to be in college again. I yearn for the in-class experience. Studying distance learning, while a wonderful experience, is just not the same for me, as being in the same room with my peers and professors. I expect it will be some sort of heaven on earth for me, particularly once my wife becomes gainfully employed, as she worries about this sort of thing.

I do not worry. I feel confident that she will eventually get employment, but she is much younger than I, and has never worked in the U.S. My wife is South Korean. She is finishing up a master's degree in ESL at Shenandoah University. She has completed 27 hours of a 33 hour program. She hopes to teach ESL in a North Carolina public school.

Love, Nathaniel
