Lorena was required to take a Religion class for her college transfer associate degree at Wake Technical Community College. The kids enjoyed their New Testament class while they were at Wake Tech, so Lorena decided to take it, too. Lorena loves both the class and her professor. He is a remarried widower who is also a pastor at a local church. He is an engaging teacher both in the way he lectures and how he manages class discussions.
Today, Lorena had to turn in her term paper and give a five minute presentation on its contents. You can see the paper by clicking either here or on the image to the left. For the last month she has reasearched the life of the Apostle Paul. She took many notes and distilled them down to eight hand-written pages. Then, last weekend, she had Kelly helped her write the report and Christian helped her print it. We think she did a great job.
Lorena faithfully reads her Bible, but feels like she has learned new ways to study that will help her in the future. She feels like she now understands the flow of Paul’s life much better than before. She also has a better sense for the culture and influences around Paul during the time he lived. It makes me want to study my Bible more and better. It also makes me want to read some more history of the Ancient Near East to get a little better understanding of the big picture of that time and place.
