Finally back to blogging after going through the acceptance period for seminary. I'm using a new browser called Flock that lets you seamlessly blog and add media to your posts using a neat interface; it is pretty sweet.
A lot has happened in the last five months. My friend got engaged and asked me to be his best man, which is just beyond awesome. I got laid off due to the recession and Karen is now working at a food joint. Karen and I have also joined a gym for a free month, and I'm starting to feel pretty jacked.
It has been really hard for me to look for a new job, and also hard to not be able to bring any money into the family for a little. However, things are working out, we have some money saved, and I am somewhat confident we can get through this financial situation. For the first time in a bit it feels like God has our backs again. With the business starting and leaving school I never really felt like things were that great, even when things worked well. Then stuff crashed down around us financially and I literally reached my breaking point of "this is enough" what with my lack of earning power and things just plain going wrong for Karen and I. Like I said, I think we can get through this now, things just sort of feel better and God has felt a lot closer.
As for our new gym, it's going to be hard to leave. Their machines are amazing, the hot tubs are huge, and the steam baths remove all worries. I'm just going to take full advantage of that action and try to get cut for my friend's wedding this July.
I got into SMU's School of Theology, but I'm frankly confused about what to do from here. LeTourneau has a new Air Traffic Control program (an Associate's) that would allow me to be in a field I've always love and hopefully provide me with a good amount of earning power. I'm thinking that with starting a family sometime and the overall desire to enjoy life, I would not be able to do the Ph.D. nor would I want to be a pastor (that would make life not enjoyable). So I'm looking serioulsy at the ATC thing now, it really all depends on the financial aid from SMU.
