No, but really...


So, I would like to start this by apologizing for the 9 month absence from the world of internet blogging.  Apparently the combination of adjusting to life on the other side of the country as well as being a student again left me quite distracted.  (Please do not make any assumptions about the 9 month absence and other things that also take 9 months!)  I do, however, feel that it is only appropriate that I follow up my previous post regarding fire with this one, which is occurring as the mountains about 5 miles north of me burn from the largest wildfire in LA county history.  There are a few pictures on facebook taken from either my front yard or from the Rosebowl here in Pasadena.  My east coast self is still a bit uncomfortable watching actual flames rise from mountains.  For real, people... when Smokey The Bear says "Only you can prevent forest fires!" he really freakin' means it out here.      

Other than the flamin' mountains, my first year in seminary has been wonderful and I'm hoping (please have grace) to be able to keep you all updated on what i've been studying/mulling over since making a complete change of professional direction.
