GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE. Today I started teaching a two-week course on Wesleyan Theology. I had planned on having nine or ten students maximum. This is a class in our Bachelor's program. The students come in for a couple of weeks and finish the course at home afterwards. Since textbooks are rare and expensive, we "loan" them to the students to use and turn in at the end of the class. For this class I ordered 12 copies of a new book on Wesley's life and work, written by a haitian pastor. I thought, "Who knows, maybe we'll have more than I think show up." Well we did. We had 15 register for the course! Now I have to scramble to get more books. A very good problem to have.
