Garbage and City Lights

One week into CPE. One week back in the 'burg. One week of commuting to the hospital.

I've been trying to process what I am supposed to do. What I'm supposed to say. Where I'm supposed to go.

But I'm still processing the previous two weeks of being in the hospital, but on the other side of the equation. And I'm not sure how I'm doing. I'm just trying to get to the next day. I'm sure I made the right decision to come back. BTW, the support from the middle of the mitten, other than Mom (who is doing pretty well, thanks for asking.) = zero, nada, nil, zilch.


Somewhere Out There - Our Lady Peace

I know you'll come back someday, on a bed of nails awake.
I'm praying that you don't burn out, or fade away.

All we are is all so far

Keep pluggin away at it. You will find, as many seminarians do, that support comes from places you least expect it, and even from those whom you do not know.

Enjoy the hard work of CPE and the revelation that it will bring.

Grace and peace,

Hey there! ((0))You've got support over here in Amish country. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and from my regional trauma center to yours, may God go with you.

Oh Yeah, Football

Quick Random Football Notes The BCS should be abolished. The OSU deserves to be in the title game, but making a case for LSU, Oklahoma or USC is very easy. I hate the ESPN whiners saying how tough a playoff would be. I think the sweater vest can use the extra resources at The OSU in a playoff a little better than he did at Youngstown State where he won 3 National Titles in 1AA. If division 3 non-scholarship teams can play a 16 game tournament, so can the megabucks schools. Michigan will be better off for not having Les Miles. Why Brian Kelly is not on any list amazes me. I'd love to see GoBlue call the sweater vest and offer a blank check. The Pats beat the Ravens to stay undefeated. The Ravens whine about "phantom calls." Mugging isn't a phantom crime. Losing your composure isn't a phantom crime. Having an "offensive genius" run an offense that has held back an all-time defense isn't a phantom crime. Billick is the only person in the NFL who need

Lutheran Carnival LV

Prepare Ye is proud to host the 55th Lutheran Carnival . As I'm preparing to pack up and move to Gettysburg to enter the Seminary there, I thought I'd volunteer to host the carnival and delay packing up the computer for one more weekend. Please ignore the mess, the assorted boxes and bubble wrap just laying around and enjoy the submissions. (Oh, if you carry any boxes - be sure to lift with your legs!) The posts are listed in submission order: The Tour Marm presents I Saw a Man Walk on the Moon , a touching look back on her memories and relationship with her stepfather. Write to right presents 3 Easy Steps On How To Create A Productive Life , an enlightening essay on how to do what's truly important. I wish I would have seen the "Strip Out the Useless" advice before I started packing! The Pistol Packin' Presbytera presents National Ice Cream Day: Passing On Family Traditions , a post which links the past and present as she describes family and friends

And Music Still On MTV

"1985" by Bowling for Soup A quick tale of woe from a second-career seminarian. I don't know how the conversation got started, (I blame Law & Gospel ) but I got in a conversation with some of my class mates who are pipeliners. The discussion was about embarassing clothing. I grew up in the 70's & 80's, the two decades that provided the most opportunities for fashion crimes. If you were ever at the height of fashion coolness in those decades, you do NOT want to show anyone those photos now. One of my classmates (bless her heart) said, "I didn't even go to school in the 80's." I honestly have clothes here with me that are older than many of my classmates. I'll take my arthritic knees and kneel to pray before I go to bed. Hopefully I can get up. I know my experience will pay off sometime soon, but how long must I wait O Lord?
