The class met on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for two hours, late in the day. I must confess that I had little motivation at that late hour of the day and soon afterwards I literally forgot altogether that I had enrolled. Six weeks into the semester, a friend inquired about my whereabouts during World History 101. I informed him I was not taking history that semester. He said he was fully aware I was not taking history, however I was enrolled to do so and that twice each week my name was being called on the class roll. While it may seem impossible to forget that you've enrolled in a class, it did really happen. By the way, I don't recommend that as a way to go through college.

The Scripture is clear that God is actively at work in the life of His children. Specifically we are told that He will conform His children to the image of His Son. J.B. Phi ...
