Day 7 of 100 Days of Blogging

I've been pondering for awhile getting a tattoo. That might surprise some of you, but others, it will not. LOL! I tend to do some crazy things. Anyway, I've known for awhile that I want something tattooed on the inside of my wrist. The struggle has been figuring out what! I've finally narrowed it down to either the word faith or the word grace. I'm leaning more towards grace. I've looked at both words in several different font faces trying to decide how I want it to look. I'd love your input on a few different things.

First, what font do you like the best?
Second, should I get this tattoo on my right wrist or my left wrist (I'm right handed if that makes any difference and I also do not wear a watch)?
Third, should I get the word tattooed where it is facing me when I look at my wrist or so that it's facing out where others can read it?

Thanks for any insight you might be willing to provide.

So we're grocery shopping today and I see these in the dairy section:


In case you can't read the packaging, the bag contains Eggland's Best Eggs Hard-Cooked & Peeled. That's right, already cooked and peeled hard boiled eggs.

How crazy is that? Or actually, how crazy does it make me for buying them? LOL! I had a coupon, that's a great excuse, right? :)

Day 5 of 100 Days of Blogging

I'M IN LOVE!!!!!!! With my new cell phone that is. My Palm Treo 700p arrived this morning and I've been playing with instead of writing papers like I should be doing. I think I've got it mostly figured out. It's taken some time to enter in my contacts (only part of which I've entered, I'll enter the rest either as a break from writing papers or after I actually finish writing the papers). My one question or debate that I'm having is regarding e-mail. I'm pondering whether I should move all my e-mail into my cell phone or if I should just set it up to be able to send e-mails when necessary and continue utilizing my laptop for e-mail. At this point, I'm around my laptop most of the time. However, next year when (yes I'm saying when and thinking positive) I do my clinical residency, I won't be around my laptop as much, so that probably will necessitate a move of my e-mail completely to my cell phone. So should I take the plunge now or wait? What do yall think? OK, I've really got to get to these papers now. Have a great weekend!

Day 4 of 100 Days of Blogging

Yes, I have completely and totally lost my mind. OK, to catch up those who don't know, I am currently a Master of Divinity student at Logsdon Seminary in Abilene, Texas (Logsdon is part of Hardin-Simmons University). I swore I wasn't ever going back to school, yet here I am. I have struggled with what my place in ministry is for quite some time and about 6 months ago, God gave me my answer. I am to be a hospital chaplain. So, I have put in my application at Covenant Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, to do my clinical residency in the Clinical Pastoral Education program. This is a year-long residency, which if I get accepted, will begin in August, 2009 (the program tends to fill up about a year in advance, thus the reason I've applied so early). I will be doing my interview with them sometime in June.

Anyway, now that I've spilled all that out, my goal is complete all my coursework for my M.Div. prior to beginning my residency (which will then provide my final 6 hours of my degree and I will graduate with my M.Div. in 2010). So, my insane brain for some reason thought that I had completed more hours than I actually have. I met with my adviser yesterday to register for classes and this is the outcome.
May, 2008 (all day long for a week class) - a Christian ethics course called Money, Sex, and Power
Summer 1, 2008 (all day long one day a week for 5 weeks) - New Testament course in the Synoptic Gospels
Summer 2, 2008 (all day long for a week class) - New Testament course in John
Fall, 2008 - Old Testament Exegesis course; New Testament course in the Gospels and Acts; Spiritual Formation course; and Advanced Systematic Theology I (for a total of 11 hours)
Spring, 2009 - Christian History; Baptist Heritage and Thought; Pastoral Ministry: Principles and Practices; Evangelism; and Capstone Seminar (for a total of 12 hours)
Summer, 2009 - 6 hours of electives
August, 2009 to August, 2010 - CPE Clinical Residency which will count for Supervision in Ministry I & II (6 hours of coursework)

I told my adviser yesterday that I was just going to move into the seminary for the next year! YIKES!

Day 1 of 100 Days of Blogging

We made it home from Waco late last night (after 10pm). The Women in Ministry conference that we attended was wonderful! We heard 4 phenomenal women preachers all preach on the same Scripture verse. It was very neat to hear each of their approaches to it. We also attended a networking lunch, 2 breakout conferences, and listened to a 5 woman panel of ministers, as well as an Old Testament scholar, a New Testament scholar, and a current male pastor discuss the biblical approach of women in ministry. This should be the last trip out of town for a bit, which is nice so we can get back to a normal schedule of stuff. Now I need to focus on school stuff as I have two major papers plus several other smaller things due in the next month. Have a blessed day yall!
