Is Break Over Already???

Well, here I am, sitting in my room, visiting with my sister Dorothy (who is visiting me from Milwaukee), trying to stay warm, and dismayed that classes start in one week. The break's been great, but boy has it flown by. I was able to have a bit of fun, seeing New York during Christmas is something special. My friends and I went to St. Thomas' for Christmas Eve. There were only about 1200 people there (that's all). Then I went to St. Mary's for Christmas Day. (That was the best Christmas Day service I've ever attended.) I spent New Year's Eve with friends here on the close. And I've been busy with other community activities. 

I'm looking forward to the next semester. I'll be taking 5 classes (systematic Theology, OT2, NT2, Greek, and Church History). I expect them to be challenging and fun. I'll also continue in the Schola and will become a member of the Guild of Sacristans. There is a big construction project starting on campus. The main building on 9th avenue is being demolished and will be replaced by a seven-story apartment building. While I think the change is good for the Seminary, I'm not really looking forward to a building coming down that is less than 100 feet from my room. 

I continue to receive postcards, they're wonderful. Thanks so much for your prayers and good wishes. I expect to be home during the summer 2008 as I've secured CPE placement in San Diego.

Until next time, Peace.
