A Long Time

Ok, yes. It has been forever. I realize this.

The last time I wrote to you, I was quoting the Sufi mystic poet Hafiz in the midst of my Clinical Pastoral Education experience in San Francisco.

Now I am back in Chicago, on the ground running through my second year in seminary. I work part-time, go to school full-time, spend at least 7 hours/week in a church, co-lead two groups on campus, and sleep...occasionally.

This time next year, I will be living and working at an actual church as an intern - this whole pastor thing is becoming more and more a reality. Crazy.

I continue to hope that this blog stays current, and is a way for me to continue connecting to people, even when I am extraordinarily busy. We'll see if that holds true...
