Yes, it's me Daggett
Aesthetics…I agree. I actually base a lot of the assurance of my salvation on the aesthetic component of the gospel. My conversion was the first time I saw the beauty of the Gospel and loved what I saw.
Yes, Krista and I are making steps towards Seminary. We are looking a correspondence courses offered by TEDS. We will be filling out a FASFA form here soon to see what I qualify for and then go from there. I do have a list "per se" of things I will like to have mastered before Seminary, i.e. writing skills (that's a big one), research methods, general theology (mainly systematic and biblical), and general Bible knowledge. But accomplishing what is on that "list" is only possible in a perfect world, for me.
I do find myself lost in anxious thoughts about pursuing a MDIV with working full-time (50 to 60 hours a week aver.), Krista staying at home, and both of us raising Christian and Emma. I worry about time…but at this point I don't care how long this takes me. This is what I love and this is what I think and feel God is calling us to for his glory and our sanctification.
One book that has captivated me lately along these lines has been The Trials of Theology: Becoming a 'Proven Worker' in a Dangerous Business edited by Andrew Cameron and Brian Rosner.
Any wisdom you have concerning this process, I would love to hear…( i.e. Jordan I believe you are not called, not qualified, not prepared, etc.)
