Duke Divinity School
I can remember being at a small church near Nashville North Carolina; it was in October of 1978, I went up to the altar and gave my life to the Lord. 35 years later, I am very grateful for the seeds that were sown into my life through Christian Leadership. My goal is not to allow my ego to get the best of me while accepting others differences and appreciating our unique individualities. I will make an effort to remember that no one is perfect and we all are a work in progress. One of the weak areas that I would like to work on is a tendency to over analyze situations. Often, I tend to over think things.
Once I heard old men say “if you think to long, you will think wrong.” As Christians, we should have the mind of Christ.. As a Duke Divinity student in the program of Christian Arts Studies; my goals are to become more theologically inclined and more Biblically astute. I also hope to bring excellence to the program with a zeal for God and a discernment of the move of the Holy Spirit.

Duke Divinity School offers scholars an opportunity to reach their goals in an effort to become leaders of servitude. I count it an honor and a privilege to be considered for enrollment. Ultimately, my academic and spiritual goal is to complete the Masters of Arts Program in Christian Arts Studies and continue to build the Kingdom of God with even a greater level of understanding and a deeper revelation of the Scriptures.
