Done

Back in late August I wrote about all I needed to do in just over 3 months. Here was that list…

1. Read Ephesians 3 times a week for 15 weeks.
2. Write a commentary on Ephesians 3:1-13.
3. Read 4 scholarly books each over 250 pages.
4. Read Acts through Philemon at least once.
5. Read over 250 pages of professor notes.
6. Write a 20 page research paper on Romans.
7. Take 2 personal retreats for my Spiritual Formation course.
8. Write 6 papers, each around 3 pages in length for spiritual formation.
9. Complete 13 weekly assignments for my Bible Study Methods course.
10. Oh and that is not including the tests I have…

Well I have good news…I finished it. All of it.

Here is what I did the past few weeks for finals:

• In Inductive Bible Study Methods I turned in a 36 page single spaced project (to most students that is really 72 pages and the equivalent to a dissertation) on Ephesians 3:1-13. I figure it took me about 35 to 45 hours to get it completely finished.
• In Spiritual Formation I turned in 6 different individual assignments that I had worked on throughout the semester.
• And in Acts and the Pauline Epistles, I took a test on 1st Corinthians through Philemon that turned out to be an absolute beast.

But all that is in the PAST. I am done. I get about a month off and a week-long trip to Alaska for the ultimate break.

It is needed.
