I know…

Yes, I know. I’ve pretty much not posted anything ever for quite a while. Bad me. I know. I’ll post again soon, but for now, here’s a quick update for me.

-Work is going okay. I had my review today and now my boss and I are at an understanding concerning my future with the company, although I don’t think he realizes quite how soon my future with the company could become past tense.
-I started seminary a couple weeks ago! I’m taking a course called “Interpretation and Exposition of New Testament Narrative Literature.” It’s a class that teaches us how to approach the Gospels and Acts from a literary perspective, understanding them in their context as ancient Near-Eastern literature, and how to thereby study and preach them. It’s cool.
-I’ve almost reached my first target weight! My goal was to reach it only by running and working out my upper body. Then on to the second goal.
-Please pray for me concerning a couple things. There are a lot of uncertainties concerning my future financially speaking as I prepare to head into full-time seminary. Work is the biggest question; how am I going to finance stuff? Yikes. I’ll be painting with my dad in the summers, but other than that, it’s all up in the air.
-Oh yes, and please pray for me concerning my right shoulder. For years it’s made a funny pop when I twist it. Over the past two years a slight pain has developed when that happens. Over the past three weeks, it pops and grinds quite often and during more varied motions, and it hurts. It often aches now. I’ve always foreseen a shoulder surgery in my future because of this, and unfortunately I’m thinking – if it’s even necessary – it might have to happen sooner than I want. So if you see me randomly grab or rub my shoulder, that is why.
-All in all things are awesome. I need to stop procrastinating. I find it really hard to focus and just study, be it for school or for a sermon or lesson I’m preparing. I’ve become really unacademic over the past couple years and I need to get over that.
-I’m going to sleep. I’ll post soon.
