It has been an interesting five months for me.  Since I began teaching at SUM I have learned much more than I have taught.  I have learned that there really is nothing new under the sun.  The questions that Christians have are pretty much the same.  We all wonder, at times, if God is listening, if He cares about our personal life, and just how much He is involved in what we are going through. ...
