Elaine Goodfriend

Yesterday was my first day in my OT Survey class at LMU.
The class is taught by a cute Jewish professor named Elaine Goodfriend. When she starts to talk about the Old Testament, you can see passion and excitement ooze out of her.
The only required textbook for the class is, of course, the Bible.
Something that Professor Goodfriend said really caught my attention:

"You will be marked absent if you don't have your Bible with you."

To me, it's almost as if she said, "If you don't have your Bible with you then your presence is worthless". It's amazing how, our identity is really found in Christ. Without Him, without the Word, our presence on this earth really IS worthless. We don't count for anything in anyone's roll book.

That's all.
