05-06-2013 – Nope, “I see here that you made straight A’s in Hebrew.” I thought to myself I did not the Lord did. “I need someone to grade papers and teach class when I am out of town.” Yes, the Lord got a real laugh out of that one!

05-03-2013 – Dr. Jack Lewis, the very person I was going to avoid, introduced himself. Dr. Lewis took me to his office. He sat down and picked up a folder with my records and I thought here it comes, I hope.

05-02-2013 – I said yes? He said “I need to talk to you.” Instantly I thought, “What have I done now? I bet they figured out I do not belong here. That would be wonderful.” Hope filled my heart.

05-01-2013 – Chapel was over and with the “Amen” I was out the door. I made it 15 steps and I heard someone call my name. I thought it was a mistake. It came a second time so I turned and observed this short little man.

04-15-2013 – I did not want to meet anyone. So I went in early to look the place over. I physically measured the distance from the last seat to the exit. It was 3 steps. I would be out before they could finish an Amen. I did not know anyone, did not want to be there and was terrified.

04-10-2013 – The first day of classes I got to school early. I had been told they always started the day with chapel. 

04-09-2013 – I did not want to go. I really did not want to go. He said go. We arrived at Memphis with practically nothing. In fact we lived in a state park in a tent for a while because I had no job nor money. 

04-08-2013 – The recruiter made it sound like it was such a wonderful experience. I wanted nothing to do with it. He spoke of this wonderful teacher who had doctorate degrees from Harvard University and Hebrew Union insisting that it was wonderful being in his classes. I told myself I would be sure and avoid him and his classes like the plague.

04-06-2013 – During the last semester I was again faced with what I was supposed to do. A student came from Harding Graduate School to recruit for the Graduate School. Again mother insisted that I go on for graduate studies. 

04-04-2013 – So I memorized Genesis 12:1-4. I got to class. The test was handed out and every thing was from Genesis 12:1-4. I made a perfect score on the final. I lived to regret that prayer!
