Two resolutions on my mind as the last hours of 2009 tick away. One is opening myself up to receive more pastoring – which means less reticence / privacy on my part and more openness. The second is to blog more often, if only as a means to reflect / regurgitate all this learning. Like still water putrifies, it’s necessary to stir up these abstract theological ideas into reality.

At any rate, here is the step-by-step plan for the year ahead, God-willing. I think it’s no secret anymore that we’re planning to

move back to New York.

So in the hopes of transitioning well we have begun to sell our stuff off at Craigslist – gimme a shout if you want any of my stuff at reduced price or maybe even free? We’ve also been talking with potential renters for our home. Not just ready to sell yet.

LAST SEMESTER ON-CAMPUS @ REGENT

I’m thrilled about this not because I want to leave – I love the school – but I’m so ready to be done. The next semester is gonna be killer and it ends in April. After that I’ll have 4 classes left, 1 of which I plan to take with the Evangelical Covenant Ordination class as I work towards ordination concurrently, and another class I will take as a distance / audio.

UNION THEOLOGICAL IN NYC?

JUNE 2010

- is our projected departure date. Everything is not concretely lined-up for us there yet but rather than wait for something to open up we’re heading back regardless.

So I’m open to taking whatever work I can find, in the hopes that God orchestrates everything perfectly in the next 6 mos. So that’s the plan.

God-willing.
