Unbounded Words

I have been off of work and school for the last two weeks. That is all about to come to an end. I go back to work on Wednesday, and my summer classes will start on June 2nd.  We didn’t go anywhere during my time off, but I have greatly enjoyed relaxing, spending time with the family, and doing some unnecessary reading strictly for enjoyment.

Over the last two weeks, Rachel and I have taken the kids to the zoo, to two movies, and to a company picnic. We have spent a lot of time at home just enjoying being a family. Since we weren’t able to take a real vacation this time, we are planning on going off somewhere in August when my next vacation time is scheduled. We were able to dump the kids off for one night, and go out and have a bit of personal time. A movie, a good dinner, and time alone is always a needed, and appreciated experience.

I was able to catch up on a little yard work, but I didn’t make that a priority. I am glad I don’t live in a community which enforces strict by-laws on yard, and home maintenance. They would have already kicked me out. Fortunately, we have a close by neighbor whose yard looks like a jungle. Just passing his yard makes me feel better about mine.

I have been reading two books over the past few weeks. Debating Calvinism, and In My Place Condemned He Stood. I have enjoyed both of them. When I finish, I plan on posting a review of each. Hopefully, I will be finished with them both before my next classes start on June 2nd.

So far I have only registered for one class, although I am still contemplating whether or not I will take a second. The summer should be busy, especially if I get a practicum. I have requested it, but since I was about five months late in the process, it isn’t certain if I will actually get one. It really doesn’t matter either way, I can either take more classes which will get me closer to the M. Div or I can go play chaplain for a summer. Either one will be beneficial.

Much to do, and much to look forward to. All for the glory of God.
