It's been an incredible month for me. I've learned so much, and I don't want to stop.
Maybe this is just a crazy idea, but I really want to dig deeper into the Bible, learn more about the historical and cultural context, maybe even dig into the original languages a bit. I would love to just spend weeks (or months?) digging into a book one verse at a time...
I'd love to take some classes online or even in a classroom setting someplace local on evenings or weekends... it's just hard to tell what programs are legit and which ones aren't. Even among the legitimate schools, I want to make sure that they are similar theologically to what my church believes. I definitely don't want to take classes from a school that is affiliated with a charismatic/Pentecostal denomination...
It seems like many of the 'legit' schools that advertise on the 'net are aimed more at folks who would like to be full time students -- people who want to get a degree and go into ministry themselves. That's not me...
I'm going to ask around and see what I can come up with. Maybe it is just a crazy idea... but it won't be the craziest thing I've ever done.

Just wanted to let you know your blog is really encouraging, I have been finding the pentecostal/charismatic background I grew up in scarier and scarier as of late. Its really disturbing to realize you are in an echo chamber where people can't even justify the most basic of their beliefs without saying something like "because that's how it is" or "God told me", totally rejecting any sort of rational explanation. Keep up the good work!
