STUDIES UPDATE. I just wanted to update everyone on my current studies. As you hopefully know by now, the Stargels will be moving back to the States in June for three years in order for me to complete a Ph.D. in Old Testament studies. The question is where we will be going. Well, I've sent in my applications to five schools. Now we just have to wait and see. The five schools are : Vanderbilt, Duke, Emory, Drew and Boston. Scott and I are really hoping for Duke or Vanderbilt!

In order to get ready for my program, I've been busy with two language courses: Greek and Hebrew. I'm almost finished with the first semester of both!

Thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers.
