School is requesting I pay down my balance so I can schedule January/spring classes.
I am on month four of waiting for my nearly $500 reimbursement check for fall course books.
That $500 would pay off almost 1/3 of my balance.

My girlfriend's adoption of a Border Collie puppy from an Amish farm in rural Ohio was hands down the biggest mistake she's made. And she's had some real questionable exes...

Where are my Epiphany devotional books? What about my Ordinary Time devotionals? I am begging Anglican publishers to realize there are more seasons than Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter. All time is sacred! Take off your shoes.

I genuinely love the guy I'm paired with for my Anglican Theology final but his 8 page draft was supposed to be 3-4 and I'm struggling. He's a 70 year old retired lawyer. I should have expected this.

Besides Hart's "That All Shall Be Saved," what book(s) are there discussing universalism and/or Christian Particularism? I've been recommended Rev. Kara Slade's work but can't find anything that specifically mentions that.

My girlfriend rarely presents tired out of the house. She normally is the one keeping my battery up. But not now. Jet lag is hitting, her eyelids are heavy, and she is *conked* before 830. Sweet baby bean. 😍

Got the roof edges on by myself! She's gonna have to help me with the rest. I'm too short and not willing to stand on the fourth ladder rung. But it's almost, almost, almost there!!! Next is to retrieve the propane fireplace table from her parents' house.

Nearly done!
This is going to be one of those stories we tell our kids: when I asked for an umbrella for the deck, my partner spent two days and over $1500 on a metal gazebo that I had to build.

Realizing this text from a friend would have never happened without the benefits of a spirit-driven seminary brings me tears of gratitude.
When I started on this journey, I couldn't afford a chipotle burrito. Now, God has given me more than I ever asked for.

When you can't find the words, lean on the saints who wrote the BCP.
The Book of Common Prayer is such a treasure. That its a physical book. 🕯
Mine was with me helping write the ceremony for my best friend's wedding, Ive prayed for their marriage since with it. It was with me every day at the ICU with mom, giving me words when I couldnt find them myself to pray.

My bishop, who is on the board of my remote seminary and who graduated from that seminary, will no longer accept anywhere but two residential schools. Power-hunger does not befit someone with a crozier and mitre. So very done with this diocese and its leader.

So odd when professors tell me I had good points or worded things "beautifully". Like... I'm just a baby.
