It's been too long

I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted.  When I look back on the last seven months, I see two things that have occupied my time: work and school.

Work hasn't really become any more difficult, it's just become more intense -– it  is taking more of my attention, I suppose.  It certainly is more fun than it ever has been. When I think about it, virtualization and RFID/asset management seem to dominate my work efforts.

School is different that last summer or fall.  Last summer my brother and I started attending Cornerstone's School of Ministry.  It's a college-level Biblical studies program, and we've enjoyed it greatly.  The teacher, Rob Dalrymple, is also involved in founding a graduate-level school, the Koinonia Graduate School of Theology.  They offer enrichment-level enrollment – discounted, non-enrolled auditing.  I was quite excited, as I was looking for something more challenging, but I'm far rom ready to commit to a graduate program.

Late last year I began attending classes at KGST as an enrichment student.  I've taken Worldviews, a survey of Psalms, Biblical interpretation, and am now finishing up New Testament.  I've tried to stay up with the reading and homework, but it's been quite challenging.  Rob has graciously allowed me to make presentations on two different projects I developed, and they were both well received. I've got about a year's worth of reading backlogged.  I am very much looking forward to taking the summer off from school and working down that reading backlog.  I will also be pondering whether to get more serious about school, i.e. pursuing a certificate in the near future. It's going to be a good summer.
