So those of you who do read my blog if you just happen to take a look because I never post anymore, this blog is for you. Haha
Although, I think all of you are pretty current as to what has been going on in my life so maybe this will just be boring to you. I do however have alot to blog about, however I do not feel like blogging about all of it. I will just get started and see how far it goes.
So last week I started seminary, which by the way was a huge blessing. I have been nervous and excited about the whole thing. I did have some new student issues to work through (i.e. getting registered for classes properly, getting my student id(which I have already lost and need to get a new one), buying my books, etc.) So far things are going ok with it, I did have a few obstacles but I am making through. I started out going to take Personal Spiritual Disciples and I even started reading for the class, but I had to make a switch at the last min. and now I am taking Systematic Theology 1. Which by the way is and awesome class. Oh and one of the people I went on summer project with her dad is my prof. Small world?! Anyways, I will admit that it is strange to go to a class where we pray before class and we open our bibles all included with information that I am interested in. It is way different than undergrad so far. I have to read alot but the thing is I want to read this information, so it does make it so bad. As far as other feelings about the class, I feel very unlearned. I feel somewhat out of place. Seminary is a culture shock to me. Alot of people who know alot about alot of things. ( i know there were alot of "alots" in that sentence). It is funny also that there tends to be name dropping. You know the type, "this professor, this", or "this professor, that". I have decided to do my best not to be a name dropper. These profs are great men to lookk up to, but they are just as human and fleshy as me. Anyways, I do like my class thus far.
I am also in the process of transitioning to a new facility with in the jewish system. I will be moving to the medical center that kirstin is working at. It is called Jewish Hospital Medical Center East. I am very excited to make the move, as it is very close to my home, kirstin and I both work there, and I will have a more opportunity to learn. I have been taking alot of flack at work about it. They have been calling me a "traitor". Oh well, all in good fun.
Ok...my wrist and fingers are starting to hurt...I think I will end this blog for now. I have no typing longevity. haha
You all have a great day.

Yay, finally a new post! As much as I like Starbuck's shaken tea myself, it was time for something new. :)
Glad to hear Seminary's going well. You sound like me with the whole losing your student ID already. I lost my work badge within the first week or 2 and had to get a replacement.
Hey Joseph,
I tried to comment on your latest blog from Sept 1, but it came up with an error message, so this comment is for the Sept 1 blog entry.
You're quite a writer, much more than I could ever be. I admit that it surprises me, too. Just shows how wrong I can be sometimes.
I don't think you have anything you need to prove to gain approval. I've got plenty of planks in my own eyes to take care of before worrying about your specks. As a parent, it's tough to balance expectations. Saying your proud of one child for something, doesn't mean that it's what all the kids should do. As a dad, what more could I ask for. I've got 4 kids that love God.
I hear ya on the name dropping - and thanks for aiming not to be one. I agree that they are all just men, and we are all just saved by grace!
I enjoyed hanging out in the deeper south this weekend. I hope you're getting to spend some time with the wifey now!
You would have more typing longevity if you updated your blog more often....
Yay for Seminary :)
