This photo isn't going to win any prizes. However, I wanted to capture a view of our classroom (and only remembered when pretty much everyone had left... thanks, K and J, for the smiles!). We had an amazing time these two weeks. Hearing everyone's stories was incredible, and reason to thank God for His faithfulness.
We would start with a time of worship. Every group led in worship once, as did the instructors. We worshipped through joint prayer, prayer for one another in small groups, meditating on our Community Rule of Life, considering a graphical depiction of how prophecy in the Bible has been shown to be fulfilled elsewhere in His word, giving our dreams for the future over to Him, and many other ways. Our perspective of how God can be worshipped was surely expanded, and it was a wonderful way to start off the day.
In the first week, there were a number of presentations on character as the significant determinant of finishing well. We explored Willard's concept of the capacity ladder and the character ladder, noticing how the two can be combined to avoid the fallacies of climbing the unstable capacity ladder only. We also met the MAGL faculty and staff, and took a campus tour. We even met the person who came up with the name for Fuller's Coffee by the Books cafe.
