Food!

In the dining room eating lunch -- session 2 is now over and Bryan Detwiler is making fun of me blogging in the cafeteria. He'll be making a guest appearance later this week.

Again, I don't really have time to give a recap of the session, but so far I have been amazed by the incredible content of the messages and I have already heard many things I have definitely have not heard before -- probably a combination of the lecturer's superior intelligence and my own lack of it.

Jeff Purswell outlined the story of the Bible in its four major phases -- Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Consummation, highlighting God's faithfulness throughout and pointing out the ongoing batttle between two conflicting worldviews -- between those who worship the creation and those who worship the Creator.

Anyway, the food is tolerable, and I've got about 3 minutes until our group is meeting for discussion so I must be off. Pray for the discussion group leaders as they help facilitate the processing of the lectures. Almost all of the discussion group leaders are pastors in their churches, and they are taking the time to lead a small group of 17-20 year olds, and for them we are very grateful.
