As many of yall know, I was in TN at Freed-Hardeman University this weekend. They had a weekend youth rally type of thing, and Friday was a Moroon and Gold Day. My mom and I drove up Thursday and arrived at our hotel in Henderson around 10:30. They next day I met with my counselor who guided me to all of my meetings with the Chris Brush had set up. I met with Roy Sharp, Lee Hibbett, and Stephen Foster. Roy Sharp was a professor in the Bible Department, Lee Hibbett was a professor in the Business Department, and Stephen Foster was a professor in the Music Department. After meeting with these professors, it gives me a clearer prospective of what I want to do. I have recently looked seriously in youth ministry and business. After meeting with both of those professors, I realized that I really want to become a youth minister and later maybe a pulpit minister. Roy Sharp helped me understand something that was very useful. I told him that I didn't think that I could become a pulpit minister, but I thought I could be a youth minister. I told him this was because I don't understand how I could have a new lesson every week for years. He explained to me that I would always find something new in my studies and will have a better knowledge of the bible after my education and experience in the "field".
After the meetings with the professors I took the ACT, which took forever!!! I would preferred to hang out with some of the students and just walked around the campus.
After that, I met up with Mark who I roomed with. Around 7:00 RUSH officially started with a lesson presented by Brad Montique (sorry if I spelled his name wrong). He was very excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed his lesson. After his lesson, I met up with a few friends and we hung out for a while.
The next day the lessons were given by Jerry Elder and Chuck Morris. Both were very good, and about 30-40ish people responded to Chuck's lesson.
The whole weekend was a blast and I had a great time. I cannot wait until I attend school there. After I got home, I saw a letter had came home from Freed. I quickly opened it and it was a letter officially telling me I had received a academic scholarship! Even though Harding is offering me more money, I am, as of now, planning on going to Freed-Haredman.
