This week Hannah was able to go to a kids club at our church.  Today was the last day.  It was a “Vacation Bible School” put on by Child Evangelism Fellowship<\/b>, and the theme was Solar Express<\/a>.  No doubt churches all across North America have been doing the same thing!<\/p>\n

Hannah had a great time and worked hard to finish her activities at home (she even tied for second prize at the end of the week).<\/p>\n

As for me, I’m just about to get started on another course from Briercrest Distance Learning<\/a>.  I have two courses to complete before we move to Mexico.  It looks like I’ll be working on a little bit of basic theology.<\/p>\n

I have come up with a definition of “theology”.  You can let me know what you think.  Of course, I haven’t taken the course yet, so maybe you shouldn’t listen anyway!<\/p>\n

Theology is…getting to know God<\/i>.  What do you think?  I think that’s about it.  Anything we’re doing to get to know God is theology.  And since that’s one of the most basic purposes of life, I’m looking forward to continuing th journey.<\/p>\n

So how have you been doing theology this week?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
