Fall in NYC

Hello all - boy it seems like it's been a long time since I've written. It's fall in NY but there has been no change of the leaves and the weather has been unseasonably warm. However, last week the night temperatures dipped into the 40s. (I'm hoping that was winter but others here just laugh at me.) I suspect we're headed for a change some time soon.

I've been a bit busy in and out of school. As many of you know, my mother was able to come for a visit for about 1 week in early October. It was great to have her here. I had a short fall break during the end of her stay so we were able to play a little - Times Square, Empire State Building, Staten Island Ferry, among others. It was sad to see her go but I did need to get back to my studies. Speaking of studies, we are now in full swing, about 1/2 way through the semester, and I'm up to my eyeballs in reading and writing (still waiting for the math part). I am truly enjoying the coursework. This week I have yet another Greek Quiz and an Old Testament Exam.

Just this past weekend I enjoyed a brief visit with Sarah Stump. It was so nice to see someone from Christ Church and I'm so glad she let me know she'd be in town and was able to make time for a visit. It's nice to maintain that connection and I hope that if any of you come to NYC you do not hesitate to call. I will always find time for a visit. I think of you all often and I am thankful for the postcards. I appreciate your continued prayers. 

I hope to write again soon... and maybe even more pictures.

Peace,

Joe
