Teaching 1 John
Welcome back!
Son 2 has just finished up 10 weeks of “Christians on Mission” in Marseille. He and his co-interns spent last week in Germany at an “American” retreat. They came to Lausanne on Wednesday, and I gave them a 7 hour seminar on the Epistle of 1 John, which I thought went quite well. It is amazing how much you can learn about a text if you dive into it for such a long time. Great fun.
I drove the 3 students to a weekend retreat where church workers meet for prayer, worship and encouragement. We spent another 24 hours there, through good times and in bad… Like most meetings…

Family looks good but a 7-hour Seminar? Yikes.

I can’t decide if I’d rather be on the giving or receiving end of a 7-hour session. I’m with Cecil. Yikes.
What a great opportunity though. You could actually follow all the strands as they come up.

It was a great 7-hour seminar, Dad! I was so happy to see you and the rest of the family again.
We sure do look tired, though.

Could you blog that 7-hour seminar down to 200 words or less?? Preferably on an even day?

What’s amazing is that your son, even after all these years with you, will still listen to you for 7 hours!
