Hebrew is Over!!!!

Well I finally finished up my 4 week intensive course of the Hebrew language and thank God I got through that. Of course I am more relieved than the situation calls for because the final was yesterday, but the reality is that I still have another semester of Old Testament exegesis that starts up in a week, and this time around, we are going to be working from the original Hebrew texts. Lovely isn't it? Monotonous repetition I call it, although, in all actuality, its probably a rational reinforcement of our learned skills. Nevertheless, I am anticipating the first day of next semester a week from now.

My other classes will include: 'Baby' Preaching, New Testament, Systematic Theology II, and Interpretation of the Old Testament. In the summer comes the next 'all fun' language of Greek, but I'll deal with that when it comes my way.

I had a job interview on Sunday and I think it went very well. The job I applied for was the music director position at a church plant in Round Rock, TX. The interview went very well, and I am expecting (hoping) for a call next week when the worship committee will make their decision. The hours expected per week are between 10 and 15 hours which is doable for me while I am in seminary. One night a week practice and two services on Sunday. The pay is minimal because it is a part-time position. Hourly it is about 13-18 dollars an hour depending on whether I am working 10 or 15 hours a week. Compared to Sarah's rough $24/hour it is not much, but it will give us a bit more money to pay off some of our moving debt and student loans.
