Updating y'all

I've been absent from the space. While I've been thinking about it, nothing congealed into a cohesive stream of thought. I'm fairly sure that what follows will be more of a trickle of thought, but we'll try nonetheless.

A while ago I wrote about my ordination. I can happily say that it is finished. My official service will be held January 13, 2008. It looks like my parents will even make the trek out for it. To say I'm relieved that it's done is an understatement. A big thanks to my wife for putting up with me throughout the latter part of that process. She deserves a medal for being so patient and kind to me.

I studied as much as I could. However the night before I got to the point that my brain was mushy and while I knew there were things I didn't know, I also knew that it wasn't going to stick in my head that night. So to "de-stress" myself I goofed around with my camera in the hotel. Result are here. (To the concerned among you... my hotel room was on the ground floor and the wall in the photos was a storage room)

As far as the interview itself, it was much better than I anticipated. Part of me knew it would be, but that's the way the brain works when your nervous about things.

On the way home from Regina I stopped and took some pictures of the landscape with the rising moon.There's a story behind this picture, suffice it to say, I was asked to leave the land upon which I was standing as I took this picture. I'm not sure why. Perhaps if I had peeked inside the barn I'd know...

I'll likely write a few more posts in the next day or so to keep on with the updating.
