Effective Communication + Speed Dating

Last night me and my roomie Stephanie went to our very first "Effective Communications" class down at the Biblical Studies Center. This class is communications but with an emphasis on preparing and giving sermons!

Biblical you say? Sermons? aaand you mention the term "speed dating"?
Scandalous right?

Well, here's what happened. We walked into the Biblical Studies Center and into the class to find our 3 classmates. All guys ranging ages from age 14 to 22ish. Alright I guess there's not really a "range" with 3 people. One was 14, the other about 20, and the last was about 22.

So a class of 5 people...(i know, it's a small program).

Professor Kevin Skidmoore gave us this exercise where we partner up with another member of the class and create dialogue about a certain question he was to give. There was a time limit and then we were to switch partners until everyone had partnered with everyone.

[As if being the only girls in a class all about preaching wasn't funny enough.]

Needless to say, it seriously felt like a version of Christian Speed Dating... especially with the question "what are 3 of your personal goals you hope to accomplish in the next 5 years" and 2 of the 3 guy's answer being "I hope I'm married."
