My heart has simply been given over to deeper study of the Scriptures linguistically on a doctoral level. New and improved means of linguistic study are being revealed everyday. There seems no end to the level of understanding that can be gained in this regard: pragmatics, semantics, optalmics, sociolinguistics, rhetorics, the list goes on and on. I sense that God has for me now an intense time of study, prayer, and mental visualization to receive by faith the program that he has for me.

In this consideration, I have sought MacDiv, Dallas, 5 colleges in MA, Georgetown, Wisconson U., certainly Oxford, Edinborough, and many others. I feel lost in this regard. Therefore, I will move forward with my Chaplain career and wait on God's movement to direct me in the Holy Spirit.

My prayer is that I could move forward into the right program that would become the most productive for the talents that I am wired with that could put them to use and produce the best material in scholarship that I can offer and shake up the world with new insights the change the course of studying the Scriptures. I model after what EP Sanders has done with Pauline studies: exposing the tradition for what it is, a tradition, and getting back to the source itself to reveal to audiences the original intent of the author. I know I am meant for this. I just need the outlet. Linguistic studies of the NT Greek material is certainly shaking up the scholarship here at Regent U. Logos Digital Libraries are certainly making that exposure happen on a grandeur scale.
