Church

Today I went to church. I had lunch with Peter, Wendy, and Corrie. I met Corrie last month. I think he seems cool and it looks like we will be friends. I spent some time talking with him. He is originally from Trinidad, which finally explains why he doesn't have a thick New York accent, just a slight one. I knew he studied theology, so I asked him if he wants an MDiv. He said he wanted to study at Stellenbosch in S. Africa because of their Hebrew programme, or else here. He expressed concerns that a degree here may not be useful for a PhD in the West. Peter said he knew a graduate from Sahmyook U that went on to get a PhD at Avondale. I have wondered the same thing. Corrie is the first non-SA person I have met that wants to study in S. Africa. I think it's good that he is thinking out of the box.
I later went for a walk with Wendy to the pond. We saw many coloured fish. I was surprised to see such large and beautiful fish. They ate a cracker I tossed them.

Thanks. I have never been to the African continent before, yet I would love to go. Maybe I won't mind living there for a while or longer. I'll see where God leads.

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually

Post

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
