I think, in Jeremy’s case, seminary is more like my grad school. I’m a teacher, so getting my masters and specialist happened while I was teaching full time (and raising kids).  Mine was partially in person and partially online. Other pastors I’ve known have gone to seminary while also pastoring a church. I don’t think it’s the same time commitment as some types of graduate studies. 
 

And now, because I’ve defended him, Jeremy is still a wannabe Z-list celebrity. 

That makes sense, but on the surface, the language requirement for his seminary seems like it would be quite arduous and would require some intensive study, especially if you're starting from scratch. Definitely more than what I needed for my MA, which I knocked out with a summer class on reading French that was basically designed for fulfilling a language requirement for us mere mortals who didn't already read and speak fluent French and could test out of it like one of my jerk friends. LOL

So, this dude is writing approximately 400 pages a year to kids who cannot read yet?  So, there will potentially be over 2000 pages once they're able to read?  Pages full of boring Jesus-y blather?  What a Dad is right!

How about spending that time playing with the kids?  Telling them stories?  Listening to them talk?

[iwantcookies]

How many diapers Caleb change? I agree I bet what he writes to his kids is a snooze fest. Imagine getting 18 journals each on your 18th birthday full of Bible speak. 
 

Remember Jeremy wrote to Felicity in a fancy journal too. And we know Jeremy doesn’t change diapers.

 This was my take exactly. It’s something that sounds nice in the abstract -  daddy writing letters of love to his girls. In reality it’s just a way for him to blather on and make a big show of himself. Patriarchy is alive and well!

This is exactly my reaction.  It's something showy that sounds good, until you think of the result.  No one is going want to read all that.

The only way that could be a good thing if for some reason dad dies young.  Even then, the girls won't find anything of value until they have matured enough to understand.  He could also get the same result writing one letter to each girl for her birthday.  No need to write every. single. day.

[Liddy52]

Regarding the post showing Jeremy pontificating on "Patience for Suffering Christians": Is that meant to be hints on how to endure one of his sermons? Seriously,  how can anyone give credence to Jeremy preaching about how to be patient when suffering? What suffering ( genuine, realistic suffering) has Jeremy been through? He doesn't have a clue what real suffering and real tragedy is.

Just wow.  I can only imagine that those who haven't lost a parent are unaware how treasured, desired and blessed having concrete, written memories of that parent can be when you're older. 

The flight logs, postcards, letters and other memorabilia I have that contain my dad's crazy, lefty backhand writing are unbelievably precious because they were written by him, but to me. 

He died almost 6 years ago, and I would give ANYTHING to have just one more birthday card with his scrawl on it.  

Just when I think these threads can't still surprise me, I'm proved SO, SO wrong.  I really have stayed too long at this party.

Nobody is saying writing reminiscences is bad, It's the quantity that seems more than a bit overboard.

[BigBingerBro]

I'm all for journaling however one wants to do it.   The sharing it with friends and also posting it on SM is a bit too much.  I'd think those are writings he may want to keep private in the family.

I have a letter written to me by my dad when I was 2 years old.  He is telling me good -bye and that he will not be with me for Christmas or my next birthday (he was called to active duty in Korea ).  He came home again, and died in his sleep at the age of 95.  But I treasure that letter, and all the travel postcards and notes I have from him over the years.  I think what Jeremy is doing is very touching.  Without reading them, we really don't know what he is writing in that journal to his daughters, but whatever it is, it is to each one personally in his writing.

I think the striped dress is cute and would've looked great paired with a sandal or girly sneaker, but those clunky Jordan's look ridiculous. A fourteen year-old could maybe get away with it, a woman pushing thirty, just no.

I agree.  Posting it on SM takes away the very personal matter of writing to one's children and it becomes a humblebrag.  And if Jeremy starts journaling too, I'd see it as insincere because I am so jaded by him at this point.

He was journaling already. He posted it a few times. Fancy journal with a fancy pen 🙄🙄🙄.

I don't think Caleb Cunningham cranking out a page a day to two daughters is in the same universe as those things you treasure.  Ten years would yield 3,650 pages for each girl to wade through.  It is extremely hard to imagine that he can find that many meaningful thoughts that are not repetitive.  It sounds like a showy stunt he can get attention for and not for expressing anything authentic and meaningful.

Not only will the length be daunting, but it's also possible his daughters will not be able to read cursive very well or at all.  I teach first year college students, and I've switched to printing to make sure everyone understands.

If these girls grow up with a good relationship with their dad then I have no doubt his letters to them will be a precious keepsake after his passing, regardless of when that happens. I have no doubt the letters are filled with references to Jesus but that is their family culture.

So, they go to a bookstore and say:

“First I will take a picture of you while You pretend to be deep in thought, THEN you take a picture of me while I pretend to be deep in thought. No one will ever think it’s staged.  We will look so cool!”

Don’t forget to look like you HATE the spotlight.

 I am sorry if something in my post displeased you.  There’s nothing at all wrong with wanting a connection with a deceased parent or family member. And I certainly understand your feelings. 

I think a better example would be, we all like to have pictures of our family. But this is like deciding to take 20 pictures of yourself a day, every day, for years on end, sp your kids will have them. At some point it stops being nice and starts being an exercise in narcissism.  And narcissism is what these guys radiate.  You eventually turn into Jill Rodriguez. Remember  MAMA, REMEMBER DAMNIT!

Reddit Posted a quick clip from the video where Jeremy is reading a comment  about their highly polished fake responses. It was hilarious. He actually says the words BS! 

 And because I’m a terrible horrible snarky person, he’s aged about 20 years in the past month.

The funniest part is you could practically hear the crickets in Jinger's head as Jeremy was reading it. She had no clue it was a criticism until Jeremy responded.

Maybe Jinger tunes out because Jeremy overtalks and doesn't care about her opinions anyways, but she comes across as so empty.

Perfect opportunity to post a picture of Felicity hiding behind the clock or behind the ice cream cone.

Or hold the coffee in front of her face.

Way to kill a meme there Jeremy.  I haven't the foggiest as to what they are lampooning here.  Are those acronyms for different Protestant seminaries? If so, isn't The Masters Seminary more like Wes Anderson here and not Bill Murray.  The joke is Bill is the lazy slacker of the group, not the most pretentious.
