Ah, back again. It’s been months since my last post so I’m trying to ease back into blog life. These last days have been exceptionally busy and tiring ones. It seems that this semester has been a pretty tough one to balance…between school, work in our Seminary’s chapel office, and family life, it’s been a [...]

Thy Will Be Done!
Posted on 14. Mar, 2007 by Josh Agerton.
Wanted to share this prayer from yesterday’s reading from our Seminary Lenten Reader. It was written by Mary Fletcher about 1 year after the death of her husband, John Feltcher. Slow down a minute from your speedy internet surfing. Take a breath. And now read this slowly: Thy will be done! Yes, my adorable Lord, [...]

Old Testament Hebrew, A Lesson in Community
Posted on 15. Jan, 2007 by Josh Agerton.
So this month I’m in an intensive class, Old Testament Hebrew, where we do a full semester of material in about 4 weeks. It is by far the most consuming class I have yet to take. On the first day our professor said that within a week we would be dreaming in Hebrew. I’m not [...]

The Return
Posted on 19. Dec, 2006 by Josh Agerton.
Last week my Mom asked, “Josh, when are you going to put something out on your blog again?” Ouch! Ever had one of those times when there is something you should be doing…then you get a little behind…then you completely fall off the band wagon. For some it may be a diet, or exercising…but for [...]

Learning A New Way
Posted on 10. Oct, 2006 by Josh Agerton.
About two weeks ago Leslie and I had the opportunity to attend the Presidents Retreat with the Seminary. It was in Colorado Springs and the Broadmoor Resort…won’t go into details but this was by the far the nicest place Leslie or I have ever stayed. The retreat was a way to honor and really bless [...]

Posted on 29. Aug, 2006 by Josh Agerton.

Campus definately had a big buzz about it today…new faces are everywhere…filled with excitement, anticipation, questions, and even fear.

Here’s another story from my trip to Gethsemani a few weeks back. But my friend Brandon tells it best…he’s the one that almost was bitten by this snake. You can read more about this on Brandon’s Blog by clicking here.

I’ve been arrested by the monks…more thoughts on Gethsemani
Posted on 14. Jul, 2006 by Josh Agerton.
Ever since my trip to Gethsemani earlier this week I have been captivated by the brothers there. Don’t worry (Mom), I’m not going to become a Catholic Monk or anything but I was truly impacted by what I observed…mainly the persistence and lifetime dedication they live with. This picture above is from their website, Abbey [...]

Day of Solitude
Posted on 11. Jul, 2006 by Josh Agerton.
Today I went over to Trappist, KY with my friend Brandon to visit the Abbey of Gethsemani. I was not quite sure what to expect as it was my first time to visit a Monestary, but it was incredible. The Abbey sits on almost 3,ooo acres of rolling plains. We explored several of the trails [...]

Simple Gratitude
Posted on 30. Jun, 2006 by Josh Agerton.
Yesterday afternoon I took Benjamin to see the new movie, Cars…his first time ever in a movie theater. I wasn’t too sure how he would do but it was great. He absolutely loved it. For the first hour of the movie he was glued to the screen like he was inside the movie himself. He [...]
