End of another Semester at the Ole' Seminary, and it's my birthday tomorrow!

Well, I recommend the Hasidic Jewish Reggae artist 'Matisyahu.' His music sings like some of the richest and most devoted Christian music I've ever heard. He truly is waiting and hoping for the coming of Messiah. If only Christians had so much zeal for Christ. It would be very nice to have Christ return and see this guy's hopes truly fulfilled. Anyway, if you like reggae, and thoughtful lyrics that are actually composed of more than just the same old drivel of sex and drugs, check him out.
Hmm, what else is going on? The past couple days have been some of the most stressful ever. Today was the last day of written work for my school, and I had 15 page paper due today. I worked both Saturday and Sunday for a full 8 hours each at the 'Bucks. So it went something like this: Saturday I read all my collected research and made notes and an outline. After work on Sunday (started at 0630am off at 3pm) I wrote till midnight. Got up at 6am-ish this morning, and wrote till about 2pm. Turned it in and drove to my other class at Boston College (which doesn't end till May 10th or so...) There has been much drama with our registration office, trying to get an extension, trying to get a class reinstated that I dropped. At this point, I need a lot of extra time to play catch up for the class I actually attended today (for the first time in month, since I am going to actually finish it rather than drop it!) So, until they get back to me, I don't know if I will have a week to do the work or a month! The time constraints have been absolutely incredible. Right now is some of the first free time I've had in a couple months. Haha! The semester isn't really over either, but I am taking a Sabbath tomorrow anyway, just so I don't have a nervous breakdown. It's my birthday too, so maybe I have it coming. I dunno. Hmm, what else...I really have nothing incredible to say. I am too exhausted to be either pretentious or witty. I am becoming Anglican, but a very Charismatic sort of Anglican. C.S. Lewis was an Anglican...so please don't freak out people. I still love Jesus. Very much so. I may end up being a priest as well a professor (Don't worry, being Anglican basically means its the kind that can still get married thankfully! Oh yes, I am still a big fan of the ladies my friends. HAHA!) I miss home. Sailing in a fresh pacific breeze, the mountains in summertime, EVERYTHING about Seattle and life there,(I can't wait to minister there, actually...big surprise to some of you, I know!) big open spaces, normal people, good food, my family, and my old friends. Mom, Pam, Phyllis, Dad, all three brothers, Arthur and Josh. Living Way peeps. Well I am about to pass out, I am totally spent in every way, and only by the grace of our loving and amazing God have I come this far. Sola Deo gloria.
