Christmas Letter

We’ve uploaded our Christmas letter - if you’d like a summary of our whirlwind year, you can find it here.

If you want to hear a great arrangement of the 12 days of Christmas, check it out here.  UPDATE: Try this one.
(We just downloaded the group’s new Christmas Album - if you like men’s a capella music, you should too.)

Done.

I had forgotten how much “fun” school could be… until the last two weeks.  5 papers, 4 finals, 2 reading reports, and a partridge group project later, I’ve come to the end, save some loose ends on the group project.  I think I’m ready for a break; good thing one’s coming up.  What holiday is it again?  Oh, yeah…

Sarah and I’ve been able to make the best of a student’s schedule.  Sarah enjoyed setting up Christmas decorations in our home (in the US for the first time!), and we took a friend to go see a massive Christmas performance with John Tesh.  No joke, there were more people in this church’s choir than there are in my church’s congregation. 

We head to California on Sunday for some time with family - it’ll be nice to take a break!

I posted this on facebook already, but I enjoyed this opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal - I keep up with this guy’s blog as well.  He has an easy writing style about him.

I think it’s time to go sleep now.  Merry Christmas!

Busyness in Advent

I haven’t posted anything in a while – things have been busy. Very busy. The end of the semester at DTS is rapidly approaching, bringing with it many due dates. And said due dates are very close in proximity to each other.

Such busyness has been weighing on me this year. This time of year needs to be a time of reflection. After all, my life has been radically altered by what happened some 2010 years ago and we mark on December 25^th.

Anyway, I’ve got to keep on working on a research paper. But I thought you might like to know that Jesus was actually born in June (at least the astronomers say so), and even though the economy is going down the tubes, it’s important to have a proper perspective on the whole thing.

Back to the paper writing…
