The virtual school cafeteria

I'm auditing a course on how the Gospel changes people. It's a counseling course at a nearby seminary where I took classes 15 years ago. My wife and I are both auditors, in fact: Monday night I zip home from work, we gobble a simple dinner, and we're off to class for three hours.

The problem with an arrangement like this is that contact with other students is lost (except for time time waiting in line for a cup of coffee at the break). Now, granted, I know a number of the auditors/students already from church, but we don't often have a chance to talk (not about class and counseling issues, at least).

But here is a fellow student, moved by the same things I am. He's sitting here in the virtual school lunchroom (at Sacred Journey » Prayer Requests and the Litany of Despair), and I can find out what moved him, and who he is. (And, I can meet him at the Indelible Grace Concert next week. We're cutting class, too.) Posted by ronlusk at October 23, 2004 10:16 AM
