A new semester has begun at DTS, and week one is finished. I have always loved the start of classes. The fresh attitude, the new faces, the syllabi - it never ceases to lighten my heart. I realize that theology may be too lofty for something as mundane as the first week of classes, but my heart is lifted because we always start with a clean slate, and this reminds me of the Lord's forgiveness and graciousness to his erring children.
NT101
