man that's embarassing... i hate those ruts when i could post something quick, but i feel like i have to fill in the gap since the last post. well, my uncle is in iraq and doing as well as can be expected (he gets to call home and my grandma (who happened to be with my mom) occassionally).
school is finally over and it was the worst semester ever. i know the definition of burnout now and it actually never happened in undergrad. i guess adding in a 40 hour job, a wife and kid, 1 too many classes, and being grad school will do that. i can't explain how bad it got - it made me question my call to the ministry, question everything i'm even doing. now that it's over, i still feel called to the ministry and to be in seminary, but i'm glad i have over a month of peace and rest to confirm all that.
work is the same as ever and the unhappy nature of that somewhat relates to the overwhelming nature of the previous paragraph.
on that note, i'm excited that today is my last day of work for the week and that we're driving to knoxville tmrw for Christmas weekend. driving back on monday to return to this existence on tuesday morning...
