Well Kept Secrets.

March 20, 2010 — 33 Comments

I often wonder how many people know about one of my true passions in life: Christian Education.

I suppose it’s a well kept secret… but not really. I don’t purposefully hide this fact but neither do I advertise it much.

Did you know that I’m in my 5th year of Seminary? I haven’t had a semester off since I started. Ever. Incredible. One day I shall experience a “semester off”…

What’s one of your well kept secrets? Share in the comments or blog about it…!

    I’m impressed, as my undergraduate degree is in Christian Education/Bible and Church Music. I suppose anything I would write would be a well-kept secret to you (since you don’t know me…lol). However, I suppose my desire to take a year off and travel the world is not widely known. It’s also not very likely since I don’t have means to do so. ;-) Oh well…one can dream!

    Had no idea! There are so many layers to John Saddington. Quite an onion, you are!

    Do I hear a new ministry opportunity: online Christian school (K-12), with Headmaster/Tech Boss John Saddington?

    Wow John that rocks. Where are you taking your courses? It is funny you should have this post on the same week I have talked about taking some classes with my Pastor and bible study leader. My bible study leader is a man who as an older adult went to Seminary just to learn. That is my desire. I have found some courses to take (right now a NT background course). Congrats.

    This is something I want to do also in the future after my kids are much older and we are not in the throws of going to basketball games almost every night. =)

    I was a Captain in the Infantry, 3 years of the 4 years I studied at the South African Military Academy. Majored in Maths and Computers; did my Honors in Computer Information Systems/Computer Science.
    When I was a kid I wanted to be a Fighter Pilot – I still want to; maybe I am still a kid, yip – that’s it.
