| Yes, my dear graduation is rapidly approaching and I only have one more
paper to write. I couldn't be more ready to be done with school
(possible forever?). Maybe with all my free time I might write
more on this thing...Or maybe I won't. Stay tuned to find out.
Oh and don't forget to wish Missi a happy birthday on June 10!!!
Oh and I shaved my beard - First time with a razor in years.

| I just read an entry (4/10/06) on my friend Colin's blog and was pretty
blown away. He hits at something deep about the person of Jesus
through the experience he describes here and I felt the need to share it.
(Colin, if you are reading this, sorry, I didn't ask your permission first and I hope you don't mind)

| I'm not sure how popular this site is but it was just introduced to me a week ago. It keeps me quite occupied when I am bored at work. Click here
In other news, the weather is finally perking up for more than a day at a time. It makes for a great time on our little scooter. Spring feels like it is finally here.
Hmmm...I think that's all I feel like writing. |

| My wife is way better at updating on our lives. Plus, she puts up all the pictures.
Also, my big beard is no more. Alas.

| Have I always been able to title my posts? Did I just gloss over
this box before? Either way, I'm overly excited about this small
feature.
Before I forget, everyone should go check out Danielson's new song here. I'd also check out the trailer
for the documentary. For those who have seen any variation of
their live show, it's always an experience to ponder and it looks as if
the documentary will display that emotion well.
The end of my school quarter is quickly approaching. Like always,
I find myself anxious about all the work I must get done, but not quite
motivated enough to do it. I've reflected lately on how much less
school means to me and how much more value I've place on other aspects
of my life (i.e. marriage, community, prayer). This is a hard
tension to reconcile. I realize the importance of school for my
future career, but I also have begun to understand that life is much
more than a job. I admit this sounds a bit cliche, but the idea
of allowing God to direct and move in all aspects of my life has
alluded me in any real sense for the majority of my life. Like
many of us, probably specifically those that grow up in the hustle of
suburban, middle-class life, I feel I must be in control and forge my
own destiny. When I imminently fail, I'm disappointed in myself,
but usually find myself making a variety of excuses that make sense
enough that I go right back out there and fail again. I'm not
saying that there is anything wrong in failing, but I want to fail for
the right reasons. I don't want to fail because of my own
arrogance or selfishness. I want to go after what God's doing in
this world and try and be a part of it. I want to be part of His
"agenda" and not my own agenda that I've conveniently tried to force Him
into. It's there, in His midst, that failure can have value and
build wisdom.
