I drove to Westminster yesterday to buy the books I need for the fall. I had forgotten how long of a drive it is. See not too many:

Woohoo! Last semester, I was drowning with all the reading and this semester there isn’t too much. (But that doesn’t mean I won’t be overwhelmed with work, I’m sure the professors will be making up for this with papers and language exams, pray for me!) I didn’t buy all the books that we are supposed to read because the amount that I have to read might not be worth it. I might just read them at the library.
I’m looking forward to reading my books because they all look so interesting. I’ll let you know which ones I’d recommend. So far, The Drama of Scriptures looks like the most interesting, so I started reading that one first. I hope to write a review when I’m done.
While I was at the bookstore, I noticed that my Old Testament Theology professor, Dr. Peter Enns, has written a Bible study. It looks like it would be a good Bible study for a small group study. It’s a study of Genesis:

“In the beginning…” These familiar words open the Book of Genesis and give voice to one of the foundational stories of the entire Old Testament. This short-term DISCIPLE Bible Study is an invitation to see Genesis not simply as a story about the beginning (Creation), but as a book about beginnings. From Adam and Eve to Noah to Abraham, Genesis recounts God’s persistence in “starting over” with the chosen people. It is a message both timeless and timely – for God’s people still seek the assurance that God is always working to make right what went wrong “in the beginning.”

After I purchased my books, I remembered that I needed to get my tests fromlast semesterr. It turns out the grade on the test and the paper for my hermeneutics class wasn’t as bad as I thought they were going to be. I got a B on the test and a B- on the paper. I was missing some parts that the professor was expecting but the things he was looking for weren’t things I was thinking about, so I’m not sure I would have done any better.
Updated: Oh My Heck, I can’t believe my spelling mistakes. I forgot to do spell check and I’m not sure why I thought semester should have an “n.”
