Ransom Notes (Notes #2, 2010)

Denis has slowly been working on a seminary degree for the past number of years. Covenant Seminary has an excellent distance program so he has been able to take courses from here in addition to getting to Saint Louis for special weekend classes each year. He has been equally blessed by his professors’ wisdom and humility. Their mentoring and example has challenged him to think outside his normal interests. Denis wouldn’t have traded all the effort and travel, the mountains of books, the billion papers written late at night, or the sacrificed brain cells for anything in the world. Except for me. He’d trade for me. In mid-May Denis will graduate from seminary. I’m so proud of his accomplishments.

In Denis’ own words:

My studies have provided me with three rich graces. The chance to study under godly, wise scholars whose love of Christ and knowledge of Scripture is remarkable. The chance to reflect on what I believe in an organized way. And the chance to have my walk with God deepened as I have been challenged anew to see all of life and culture under Christ’s Lordship.
