Thanksgiving Snow VideoIt snowed here on Thanksgiving this year. I put together a little video to show the family and friends back in San Diego what snow looks like. I had to ask Sudi, who has lived in Minnesnowta, if it was snowing because I wasn’t entirely sure what snow falling from the sky looked like. The Fort Worth area is only supposed to get one inch of snow per year. I think that might have been it. Deer in Benbrook on Christmas EveOn Thanksgiving we had snow. On Christmas Eve, on the way home from church, we spotted some deer down the road from our apartment. Six of them staring at us! It reminded me of seeing dolphins in La Jolla. There’s something amazing about seeing animals in the wild and seeing them on Christmas Eve was as special as Thanksgiving snow. Benbrook is really growing on me.

Revelation Song by Kari Jobe Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain Holy, Holy, Holy Clothed in rainbows, of living color Holy, Holy, Holy Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder From all of us at the Gliebe Home (Texas Division), we wish you a Merry Christmas! I love studentsA couple years ago Steven got the domain ilovestudents.com for me to use on a school project. I ended up never using it. This semester in one of my classes I was asked to write a Teacher Training Manual (hardcopy), and we had the brilliant idea of making it a Teacher Training Online Resource instead (using the domain name). Its a manual for college ministry lay leaders. I wrote the content and Steven turned it into a beautiful website! Notice the ABOUT section. And YES, I got an A!
Seminary LifePosted by Sudi in Seminary on December 13th, 2007 at 12:52pm
Yesterday I completed by first semester as a Seminarian. When Steven and I moved here we knew I was going to attend a great Seminary. But I have to say that my experience far exceeded what I thought this would be like. My search for the “right” school was very long and painful. I can’t even begin to count all the schools I inquired about and how many I found dissapointing. There are two things, very valuable things, I learned during that search. One is that I wasn’t going to be happy unless the education I received was Christ-centered. I could not justify spending time and money on classes that weren’t closely related to my Christian faith. Two is that I am not a distance learner. I love the classrom, I thrive in it. I really enjoy the interaction with professors. The whole process of learning is very energizing. I learned a lot in all of my classes. Lets face it, I am an absolute nerd! I love school! A few highlights from this whirlwind semester: Chapels Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Steven came to Chapel with me on Wednesdays and we were so blessed. The worship, the orchestra, the messages, they all blew me away. My very favorite speaker was Jim Cymbala. Other favotites, Pastor Tommy Green from Florida and Dr. Allen! I took a class on the book of 1st Corinthians, I read a huge commentary on it and read the actual book 10+ times. It was an indepth study and I will never see 1 Corinthians the same way. I gained a new appreciation for the apostle Paul. He was a great man of God. Dr. Schatzmann, my professor, brilliant! Hermeneutics was my favorite class. Very funny, because I was kind of dreading it. It was my hardest class. I have never worked so hard in my life. I learned a ton! Part of what made the class so great is that there were 60 of us in it, so there was a lot of energy in there. A few of my classmates, Merrie, Jason, David and Matthew always asked great questions. I sat between Beau and Kelly in the first row and we developed a nice friendship. Dr. Caldwell is a genius with a superb sense of humor. We were in stitches the whole time. Lastly, Steven and I really appreciate our president Paige Patterson. We not only love his theology 100% but we respect him because he truly is a man of God. A hard core evangelist-preacher with a huge heart for God and the lost. It was a great semester thanks to God who is the Giver of all good gifts, and thanks to my angel husband who made it all possible with his hard work. I am truly blessed! Free Flickr ProPosted by Steven in General, Photography on December 13th, 2007 at 06:45am
I logged into Flickr to see if it was time to renew our Pro account and found this message. “You have a Pro account, at no cost as long as you keep your AT&T Yahoo! service.” I’ll take it! Huckabee Now in Second PlaceYesterday I was happy to write that presidential candidate Mike Huckabee passed Mitt Romney according to the RCP average. Today he passed Thompson and McCain and is in second place behind Rudy. 1. Giuliani (25.5%) Mike Huckabee for President Mike Huckabee has passed Mitt Romney and is now in fourth place according to the RCP average for Republican candidates. We’ve seen Huck go from 2% to 4% to 8% to 10% and now 12.8%. They say he has no chance. Oh yeah? Well, now less than 2% stands between him and the second slot. He’s also leading in the most important state right now: Iowa. This all from a guy with no money and no major endorsements. How do ya’ like them apples?  Happy ThanksgivingJoin me in singing… “When I think about the Lord, When I think about the Lord, It makes me wanna shout It makes me wanna SHOUT!!!!” Happy Thanksgiving Miss and LoveYou haven’t heard from me in a while. I’m busy living my dream. I’m a Full Time student. All thanks to my Baby-Love. One of these days I’m going to write a deep entry about life as a seminarian. One of these days when I don’t have hundreds of pages to read. True story, I’ve been working like mad to get ahead on my reading, yesterday I finished a 900 page commentary on 1st. Corinthinas. Excellent by the way! I love that class. I finished the last chapter and walked to my computer with a huge sense of accomplishment to check my email and I found the syllabus for an Intensive class I’m taking in Januray. A real breeze!, only 4 books to read and 5 papers to write in the next 35 days. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! So as I was saying, one of these days when I have time, I will write about deep matters and the things I’m learning. For now something light… What I MISS The Most About San Diego: (Things that I really miss, it hurts thinking about them) Our Family -There was something very comforting about having mom and dad 20 minutes away, now it is 20 hours.
Seminary- Going to Class is the best feeling, like a fish in the water. So many things to be thankful for.
