Yeah, so, what can I say...it's time for the director to get some respect around here...so I've decided to wear a suit every day from now on......kidding...

We took this picture last week in Chimney rock as we were all out getting ice-cream.  And I love ice-cream...so I dressed up for it.

STUFF TO CHECK OUT:
1)  new "class of 2012" picture album on the ESBS website (photo album)
2)  2011-12 lecture schedule online....carve out some time to sit in on a lecture and experience the  ESBS firsthand! (lecture calendar)
3)  Come sit in on an evening lecture on "greek culture" on MONDAY AUG 29 at 7 pm.  Learn how radical it would have been to trust Jesus in the midst of a very spiritually confused first century culture.

Today the ESBS began its 6th year as the staff returned for the first day of staff training.  With just two weeks now before classes start, we're all pretty excited to meet the students and start the journey through the Bible.  It's hard to believe that this is our 6th year...and it' going to be a great one.  We have 13 students preparing to come, an amazing list of guest lecturers lined up, and Julia and Roz are going on Friday to buy a cow (frozen...:)..

Anyway, God is good to let us be a part of this for another year...look for lots of exciting things happening soon.  We'll be opening up our classroom for some amazing special lectures throughout the year.  As usual, all our audio lectures will be going on our website...we have a world class biblical archaeologist coming for a week...and the pontoon boat is fixed now...awesome...I love my job.
