Where I went from there...

So....It's been a while. I have no excuses for not writing in nearly a year. But now, since I'm beggining to be academically challenged I feel like writing. Let me catch you up on what has went down or gone on in my life over the past 10 months (since last post) I got accepted to Seminary at Dallas Theological Seminary. I resigned from the church and moved to Dallas. I got a job doing accounting at a property management company. And I started seminary. I cannot begin to explain how utterly amazed I am that I'm finally here. I love the school and I love being in a challenging, professional, Christ-centered, academic atmosphere. I guess the thing I love most about Dallas Seminary so far is how proffessional everyone is. This maybe stupid but you can tell people are in sync with God by the way they dress, walk, and act. There is a tremendous spirit of freedom through Christ that pervades the oasis in Dallas that is the seminary. A freedom that is evident not only in the younger students but also in the faculty. A freedom that is almost tangible...like water filling the halls and courts and even my off-campus life. I've always known that the way "we've" done church is limited by legalism, and that somehow, someway I would find the freedom, and people that speak to that freedom. I've found it. I'm reminded over and over of that message of freedom by lectures, notes, policy, and sermons. The voice of freedom now proclaims loudly what my heart whispered for so long.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I hear the words of Steven Curtis Chapman, "there's more to this life than living and dying,More than just trying to make it through the day..."

I'll leave you with a quote, I didn't catch the source but Mark Bailey quoted this in Chapel:

"Traditions are the living faith of those who are now dead, traditionalism is the dead faith of those who are still living."
