Onward

Umm...so. It's 4:15 on Sunday morning. I should be asleep, I have church tomorrow. But, since I can't seem to sleep, I might as well get my blog on. I know I haven't been doing this much, but I probably should, cuz people apparently like to know stuff, and even more surprising, stuff about me. So here y'all go, with minor apologies to The Judge for the title...the one or two (former :P) DeckTechers in the audience get it.

School this semester is pretty chill, I only have 3 profs: Wright for Wright's Theology 101 (Aka Biblical Theology- every one of his classes is a variation on his theme, though), Kelle for OT Prophets (To balance Wright- it's fun to play them off one another), and 3x Smith for Admin/Leadership, Evangelism and Greek (props to him for not making me meet with the rest of the class at 7 am for Greek.) I love this place and these people- I dread all the GE I have left. It looks like, if the stars align and the schedules work out right, one more year should get me out of here...

Which leads me to the 'onward' mentioned in the subject. The information packet and catalog FINALLY arrived today from Duke Divinity School, and luckily it was well-sealed because i pretty much drooled all over it. I am looking forward to this more than perhaps anything I've ever done, with the possible exception of my impending nuptials this summer (more on that later.) All of the previous plans (Fuller, George Fox, etc.) were cool and all, but the prospects of Duke blow all the rest out of the water. Hauerwas, Maddox, and of course Cameron Indoor are calling my name, and I can hardly wait to heed their call. As a pleasant side note, this has motivated me to achieve scholastic excellence in a way that nothing has in quite some time.

Planning a wedding is pretty exhausting. For those who have already done it, you know what I mean; for those who haven't, um...good luck, suckers! There are, quite literally, a million and a half (at last count) things that must be thought out, and we haven't even cemented a date or reserved anything yet. The most recent hang-ups have been on the site (thanks to our flex-a-date, combined with the insane wedding planner at our preferred location) and the bridesmaids' dresses. Fortunately, the latter one may be close to finalization, and the former one...well, options are being explored. It looks like it will end up inside after all, so we don't need to rent toilets or a sound system, but where that 'inside' will be is still somewhat up in the air. Luckily, I'm marrying someone brilliant and beautiful who keeps all this biznaz straight. Oh, and takes care of me when I'm suffering from random lung-based ailments. And tells me to go to the hospital in the first place so I can get said ailments diagnosed and (hopefully soon) knocked off. And deals with me being totally insane a lot of the time. I love you, babe. Seriously, I don't know how I got anything done before Liz, but I'm glad I don't have to now.

4:40...bedtime, finally. Hopefully I'll be a bit more active in my blogging habits, so until next time, true believers...

Peace,
Chris
