Shouldn't be Blogging Right Now

I have to bike downtown to a cafe to meet someone from my old job - Northwestern Mutual who somehow managed to beat me at my old game and get an appointment scheduled with me to discuss finances! The sum of the conversation of my financial goals: to have finances.

In the meantime, I am intent upon keeping up the blog this semester not because I will have more time (such is not the case!) but because there will be so much to process!

I am taking:

Apologetics
Bib. Theology of Mission
Anglican Essentials

And I am beginning to lead music at the Sat. service at Fox Chapel officially beginning this week. And that means my old Sat. hours become more "youth min" hours. And I am an overachiever and have millions of goals for the youth ministry this fall.

And we're trying to buy a house.

Etc.


But I have to be able to process, to write about what I'm thinking or I will go crazy this fall.

Blogs are somewhere between journal entries and coffee dates with friends. Strange animals. But at this juncture in my life, I welcome any means to share my heart with those who have in the past so inspired, encouraged, and prompted my internal stirrings toward the heavenly, my questions about our sodden reality, and our need to live suspended somewhere between the two worlds.

In the meantime, here is a picture from a double biking date with my parents this week: Samm had cut part of his beard going for the "wolverine/elvis" look for the day:

I love it. Yes, blogging is quite strange, yet somehow delightful. I am thrilled to continue reading your thoughts!!

We share much in common. Like the fact that right now I am reading and commenting on your blog when I should be finishing up my packing for Chicago. But, you know, it is really quite fitting to be reading your blog before a trip to dear ole Chicago- I just realized this will be my first visit there without you. Doesn't feel quite right.

Anyway, I miss you dear. And I continue to love your blog- which I guess is just another way of saying I love you.

Will be thinking of you lots this weekend!
