Some Random Thoughts

Greetings from Los Angeles! We're at the dock getting unloaded, then hopefully dispatch will set us up with another load soon so we can leave this area! It's always nice to say goodbye...

I have great news: I passed my comps! I have officially earned my Masters Degree in Theology! Praise the Lord! Now if I could just continue developing my exit presentation for the catechetics specialization I will be all set!

I've enjoyed reading "smut" books (i.e. books that have no academic or theological bearings whatsoever) since comp day, and have completed both "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" by Kim Edwards and "The Innocent Man" by John Grisham. Both were page turners, but I finished Grisham in a day. What a story! Presently, I just dove into Michael Crichton's "State of Fear". Any recommendations for other good books out there?

We passed by the creepy honey-I-blew-up-the-baby toddler cut out again today, so I snapped a picture. It doesn't seem as big as the first time I drove by it, but I still think it's weird...


When we were in the shop the other day getting the starter changed, we were able to spend some time with Steve and Valerie in San Antonio--they were gracious hosts! We enjoyed seeing y'all and look forward to the next time!

And, a huge CONGRATULATIONS shout-out to AJ for completing his chemo! You've been a great inspiration to me and your faith and trust in the Lord is admirable! Your family continues to be in our prayers!

Have a great rest of your week and a fabulous weekend! God bless you!

Peace,
deb

Thanks for posting this Deb...I didn't know that there was a Memory Keeper's Daughter out now - even though I went to the library last night (yesterday was my last final) I'll go again today!

And I laughed at your "smut" books - note above comment - I am sure I'll be living at the library this summer.

I love to read: Karen Kingsbury, Dee Henderson and Terri Blackstock to name a few (all Christian authors).

Have a safe day - may God Bless you and Ben on your journeys.
