The wheels are moving
Well, after a long wait things are beginning to move. I will be meeting with a call committee from Prince William County Virginia on the 29th of May to begin conversation. Thanks for your continued prayer and please keep it coming. I will keep you posted as things develop. Thanks for your continued support!

Packing up and going...where?
Sorry for the intense delay in posting anything here. I am in the midst of my last days at seminary and have been swamped with classes, papers, and some research I am working on.
Not to mention packing up and getting ready to leave Columbus and head back to the DC area. But many have asked what next?, to where? Well, I don't know. Really, in two weeks I will be done here at Trinity and I am heading home. But I have not clue as to first call options yet or when I will begin.
And what am I learning? Well, that it is really difficult to plan (remember I am a high J!) anything when there is nothing on the calendar. There are no points on the calendar from which to plan off of. This has been really hard. But I have also been encouraged by one particular prof. (Dr. Dahill) to use this open time as a retreat. In our Christian Spirituality and Prayer class we have been talking about pilgrimage, retreat, monastic practices, etc....and I have to say I am thinking very seriously about running away to somewhere, for sometime, away from the everyday.
So, welcome to limbo, welcome to ambiguity. Wanna join me?
