count down at seminary

With only one week to go before the seminary semester is over, Dorcas put the final touches on her timeline of the first 1500 years of Christian history.

the world upside-down

At the seminary, I saw this map of the world. Is the Gospel so powerful it turns the world upside-down? Is it that once you pass through these portals you will never see anything the same again?

inside the seminary

I followed her inside. After checking her mailbox in the catacombs-ish space, she gave me the tour. In the soaring cathedral-like space we saw the lit tree from the other side and through the windows I enjoyed the pastel blue mountains in dawn's early light and the reflected light and the cross in the window overhead.

discovering Dorcas at seminary

Monday I drove to Eastern Mennonite Seminary, Harrisonburg, Va., to see Dorcas go to school. It's 7:45 a.m. Behind her is the cute cottage. Above her is the Christmas tree amid the arches of the seminary building.

school again

Two schools are making an impact on our family this week. Today Lancaster Mennonite begins as photo shows. Thursday Eastern Mennonite Seminary begins and Dorcas will move her allegiance there for a semester. Photo by LNP.
