Dr. Shields delivered his “farewell” sermon yesterday in Chapel. It was a good sermon recalling the many lessons he learned from churches during his journey. I’m disappointed that the turnout wasn’t as large as it should have been. I don’t think many people realized this was his final sermon. Dr. Shields has a unique sense…
“Man, I think I’m on drugs.” ~ Dr. Ramsaran
“(In the book of Esther) God had providentially put a plan in place to preserve His people…the alliteration is free of charge.” ~ Dr. Rollston
“Those people are so narrow (minded) they can look through a keyhole with both eyes at the same time.” ~ John Wasem
In preparing for my New Testament Intro final, I have come across a few quotes from our distinguished professor. I enjoy his class quite a bit.

The very first entry for the Spring term was more accidental rather than Dr. Marwede attempting to be funny. He painted himself in a corner on this one, and I felt bad for him as he tried to find a way out without saying what he wanted to say. He was talking about the a…
Again, not from Dr. Marwede, but worth noting all the same. “Sure — You don’t mind if I fail you, do you?” – Dr. Rollston in response to a student who asked, “You don’t mind if I keep my notes out for this test, do you?” Let’s see what notable words Dr. Marwede has tomorrow…
I had to take the kids with me to school yesterday so I could take my final quiz in Greek. After I finished, we walked to Dr. Marwede’s office, and he was standing in his doorway, talking to another student. Aiden walked right up to him and said, “Hi, what’s your name?” Dr. Marwede responded,…
