Bullet Sunday: Replies on Twitter

• August 10 1995, the first European football match, I viewed live. Inter Milan 0 @ Arsenal 0, friendly, Arsenal Stadium. 

• A very kind, new Twitter connection stated he has been following me online since the early 2000's. 

• He asked me in regards to educational recommendations with  aspects of theology and Old Testament. I replied as follows... 

• Russell N Murray @RNMPhD: Just back from church. Will reply more. Many thanks.

• Russell N Murray @RNMPhD: As you might have read on Dr. RNM, my first UK university was less than supportive, actually hostile, as my fine agreed upon tutor was away for a year. With God's help, I compiled a list of places and contacted potential tutors. The next day someone from Wales contacted me. 

• Russell N Murray @RNMPhD: So, find a supportive tutor @ a University rated high enough to meet plans. Wales at the time had the second most students in UK and my campuses were highly rated for theology and related, especially @UWTSD where I did the PhD. Tutor more important than how famous the place.

• Russell N Murray @RNMPhD: Do everything they ask. My PhD has 10 to 20 citations per page. Insist on staying true to the Lord and intellectual, academic, findings, while presenting various perspectives. Some will be suggested by the tutor. Some of your ideas might be left for online work, like me.

• Russell N Murray @RNMPhD: Sure..I did the UK approach because at the time I wanted research only. Yes, go where you are embraced.
