Late Nights...

     It's nearly midnight and I haven't cracked a book since lunchtime.  After our classes and lunch I made my way back to my Greek support group.  Actually Nashotah provides an additional resource on Tuesday and Thursday for those special students like me who just can't seem to get enough on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.  Immediately following we had a seminar on the Bible Works Software which we'll be using in Greek and various other classes.  The hour and a half demonstration was enough to make your head spin.  I can't begin to explain it at the moment, but when I understand it I'll pass along the information as I receive it.  We had Evening Prayer at 4 and upon its completion several of us jumped into a car and headed to Kenosha, Wisconsin.  When I visited Nashotah last March with my rector, Father Ben, he introduced me to Phillip Anderas a student here last year.  Since I arrived in August we've had the chance to get together a few times and email.  Tonight was Phillip's ordination as a Deacon.  It was a wonderful service where I got to meet an AMIA bishop and reconnect with William Beasley, the rector of the first AMIA church I attended in Chicago.  It was a great night and I know how much Father Ben would have liked to have been there. I've yet to read Polycarp for Historical Theology in about 8 hours and I'm fading fast. Wish me luck...
