*It is finished, the battle is over…*
Last night at 11:12, I emailed in my final project for my final class. I received word today that I made a 92, which assures me of an A. Though graduation isn’t until December, I have officially finished classes for my four year degree in biblical studies…27 1/2 years after graduating from Riverdale (GA) High School.
YEA, ME!!
I wonder if Good Morning America will be calling…
Wahoo!!!

Congragumalations! Was that a big “Whew!” that I heard from Georgia way?

Congratulations, Marty. Quite an accomplishment.
Is that anything like my granddaughter’s Bachelor of Arts in Bible and Theology? She’s 22, you know.

ps: I forgot the :)
And I do know it’s quite an accomplishment for a married dude with a family and all that stuff. Me, I flunked out my first year at Purdue, and then 6 weeks into the next semester at Butler, I Quituated.

Marty… here I thought 4 and a half years in seminary was a long time…
Thanks for the pick-me-up. =)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m so proud :)

Way to go! I can no longer say you are the smartest guy without a college degree that I know.
So will you be even smarter and wiser when I call for Pastoral advice? I hope so.
All of this begs the question… “When do you start Seminary?”

Art says: “When do you start Seminaty?”
Actually, given the depth of knowledge you must have accumulated in your extended degree plan you may actually be qualified to START a Seminary rather than just attend one! :>)

As big a “whew” as you’ve ever heard.
Bob-
Congrats to her. You seem to have fared pretty well as a “drop out.”
Joe-
Glad to help ;^)
Beth-
Maybe I’ll beat you to a Master’s.
Art and Chuck-
Undecided, but nothing until at least the January semester.
