So is it a bad thing...

...that the first class that I teach, I'm already behind on the schedule that I planned? My class is supposed to last 6 weeks. And that means this week we're supposed to be at the midway point after this Sunday. We're no where near it. I made a powerpoint presentation for my class and its currently at 248 slides. And it keeps growing because I keep adding things/editing/breaking slides up into two and I already am going to add about 5 to 10 slides to the beginning of this Sunday's presentation. We're currently at slide number 64 which means we would need to do 60 slides this week to get to the halfway point. Last Sunday I only got through 20 slides. The first week I did 44 as the match probably showed.

I look at the material and it seems possible to get to slide 96... Of course I would probably cause their heads to start spinning.

And I keep getting the feeling that my pastor wants me to cover the documentary hypothesis because both weeks he's brought up the names of God and the way liberals do scholarship, and he said Gary can tell you more about that... which I gave a fairly limited overview of the different names of God: El Shaddai, Elohim, the different El titles, and of course Yahweh. Although it became a topic because one of my reasons I listed for studying Ancient Egypt was Liberal scholarship's tendency to not put much emphasis on Egypt... so I'm debating whether or not to add it to my class at some point. Maybe near the end.
