The sad reality of seminary

I'm not trying to over-blog... but I just had to share this story.

A seminary friend of mine was sitting in a classroom about 10 minutes before class was to start. Another friend walked into the room and asked friend 1 what he was reading. Friend 1 said, "The Bible." Friend 2 replied, "For what class?"

I thought it was a funny story, but it's also a glimpse of seminary life. I would venture to guess that many, if not most, seminary students do a lot less "free reading" of the Bible while they're in seminary than when they're not.
