New Semester

Another semester at Prov Seminary started yesterday, and I'm already swamped with homework. Old Testament Theology (this course is gonna rock), New Testament Apocalyptic (yes, I'm actually voluntarily taking a course on Revelation, but it's not what you think, it looks like it'll be really "real" and not one of those chart-making, hair-splitting, who-is-the-anti-christ kind of classes -- and we already know Bill Gates is the antichrist, right?), and last but not least, the class I'm most looking forward to: Worldview & Culture. TONS of work already, but it looks like it's going to be a great stretching time of learning and gaining understanding!

For those who have been wondering, my first weekend with the Celtic band went great; each night I felt more familiar with their music, and therefore more relaxed and able to "perform" rather than simply just "play" the songs. These guys have a reputation as "Winnipeg's favourite Celtic party band", and after seeing the packed bar and rowdy reaction to the band, with a lot of people loudly singing along with many of the tunes, I don't think they're exaggerating! Lots of fun, and I'm also enjoying getting to know the extended community of friends and family around the band itself -- which is the actual mission field.

More later...
