Carolina de Norte

The break has been good thus far. I merely hoped to have a relaxed time with my family and friends along with some future contemplation on the side, both which I have gotten. Turns out I'm really allergic to Casey, my dog. A few minutes after walking into my house my sinuses swelled up and my throat. I still haven't recovered, but I love my dog, so whatever, I'll have a headache for a few days I guess.

Let's see... where to begin? Thursday I ended up having lunch with the pastor of the church I grew up in. Bill and I talked a lot about seminary options and where my spiritual life currently resides. Later I went over to the Hengevelds and caught up with them again which is always nice. After that I went home and ate dinner with my folks. I've been eating a lot of real food lately which, oddly enough, has been doing a number on my stomach. That makes me feel bad. I really had THAT much crap to eat in school to where my stomach would question healthy good food? Wow! Later that night Karl and I went over to Jordan's house and sat out by the fire. I love that. It's such a carefree pass-time. We spent some time catching up though and... well... chalk one more of my friends up to "getting married." Jordan... be strong.

Today I drove down to Fuquay-Varina to visit my sister and brother-in-law Grace and Josh.
That's me in front of their computer typing tonight... Just thought I'd jot it down in my photo history... Anyways,
Grace is pregnant but doesn't look it, and Josh seems to be enjoying his new job. Grace and I spent most of the day wandering around the campus of Southeastern Seminary. I'm eyeing it over as a possibility after graduation, so I figured while I'm here I might as well get a feel for the campus environment. It seems really nice. We then went to World Market and looked around for a while. I wish Nashville had one of those. I could have bought the whole store it was so amazing. They had all sorts of foreign instruments and decoration. After that we met up with Josh and some of their friends from their old church and had dinner followed by a movie. It was called "Facing Giants" and it was a Christian film. It was a bit hokey in my opinion, but it had a good message. For someone like me, though, it's really hard to get past production quality. I've been in such a snobby production environment for so long, it has sort of become a part of me.

So tomorrow I head back to High Point. I don't really know what's in store when I get home, but that's the way I like it. I sorta wish break was going to last longer just because I know I won't be ready to go back to Nashville on Sunday, but that's the way the cards deal. Peace and love.
