Today I attended the Fall Convocation for the school I am attending. it was a nice service of Worship, with music, prayers, and a Homily by the Dean of the Seminary. During the service the entering students were recognized by receiving a piece of towel, a tradition at the school, it represents the towel which will be received at graduation. The towel represents the servant hood of the minister. The example Jesus set by washing the Disciples feet.
The Dean's message this morning spoke to me, he has diabetes which he ignored for quite sometime and created a health crisis for him. This crisis led him to a year of recovery, and reflection culminating in his call to the Seminary as Dean. I can relate in a number of years ago, I had a health crisis which led me to change course in my life.
Today is the official start of the semester for me, I will be attending my first class tonight. It is Philosophy of Religion.
Here are a few pictures of the Convocation Setting.

The above picture is of an electronic calendar outside a classroom, each classroom has one and it shows the classes, meetings for each day in that room. This new facility is high tech!
Please pray for me as I embark on the journey to complete this degree.
