Hey @Digidave I have a location for the #ONA24 PJ party if you have the games!

[Stephanie Backus @StephanieBackus]

Fun fact, I think "nebby" is my favorite #Pittsburgh word. I use it all the time.

[Stephanie Backus @StephanieBackus]

I'm going to be at #ONA24! If you're here, come find me at the help desk near registration! Can't wait to see everyone.

Chinese fortune cookies sure have changed since I was a kid.

@WriterJane74 Still just Stephanie. No Rev or Pastor until I'm ordained.

[Stephanie Backus @StephanieBackus]

Officially graduated with my M.Div. So much more ahead but these three years were so incredibly formative. Happy to
have received 3 awards as well - one for preaching and pastoral care, one for contributions in church music, and one for being Top 2 in Church History.

@SkinDawg1973 Thanks!

And just like that, 3 years of seminary is complete. When I said I was going to do this in 4 years while working FT, people thought I was crazy. And when I completed it in 3, they confirmed that. Hours of sleepless nights, writing papers and studying are now done. Grad is May 31.

[Stephanie Backus @StephanieBackus]

I have three papers left to write in seminary. Really, two papers and an analysis, but let's call it three papers.

@mikeywaters3 I will be saying this on May 21.

@CQuillwitch @masonmennenga I think we traditionally view hosanna as this joyful exuberant shouting, but it means "Save us, we pray." It's a cry for deliverance. Still really powerful, just different.

@rob_backus81 It's not funny at all and I'm not old. I got carded at dinner last night.

That moment when you think "what was your first CD" might be good for a team icebreaker, but you are probably the only person who ever bought CDs.

@mikeywaters3 This game was invented by my cousin's grandfather (on the side of their dad, who married into our family).

@mikeywaters3 I think I'm going to submit my paper on trauma and John to the John section.

@sheetz They aren't your best fried food. But hate seems like a strong word to use. Your mozzarella sticks are better, though.

@s_seglenieks Are you using a Greek textbook? (This isn’t to answer your original question but I’m hopes of helping with your Greek struggles) I struggled too in the early days but eventually, it clicked and now I’m tutoring Greek for this year’s class.
