It is so encouraging having a professor who responds to a little 20pt essay like this:

“Wow, David! This is a thorough and outstanding discussion of this topic. I especially liked the phrase “omnivorous listener”! The personal examples and solid biblical perspective makes this essay ring strong and true. Thank you very much! I’m encouraged for the future of the Church because of young men like you. Hold fast to your grounding in Jesus Christ!”

I am not doing this to show off, though I nearly posted the essay, because I kind of like it, but as a witness to the blessing I have of a great teacher. I mean, who says, “Thank you” in a response to an assignment!?!
