First day of the Spring semester at β¦βͺMBTSβ¬β© & Spurgeon Collegeβ¬β©! The forecast is looking good. π
Less than a week until the start of another semester at β¦βͺMBTS. Canβt wait to dive back into the language and theology of the Old Testament!
A very Happy New Year to to all! (except you people who prefer endnotes) π₯³
