Hello...anyone still out there?
Wow...I haven't written for 3 million years...seriously. If anyone is still checking this thing, it's a miracle...
I think the reason I haven't written in so long is (besides the ridiculous busyness of my last semester in college) that I've mostly been too tired to think about anything beyond getting my homework and studying done, getting my capstone projects written. There isn't much space in that world to think and move and grow--even though the things I did stretched me in many ways. But in other ways, I feel like I've been out of touch with the deeper parts of myself--like everything that has been happening has mostly been skimming the surface, with only brief dives into the part of me that wrestles with questions and strives, always, for answers--the deep, true, rich answers. I'm starving for that; I'm thirsty...
Anyway...thoughts are brewing again (finally)...so there will be more posts

I'm still here -- good to hear from you, O Mighty Graduate. Still wearing your mortarboard to sleep? God knows, I will be when I reach your level of maturity... :-)
I'm here too... good to hear we'll be seeing more of you again...
YAY! Mandy is back! And she's gradjumatated! Congrats! What are you going to do with yourself now that you don't have homework?!? Isn't it the craziest feeling? Enjoy it!
hey hey...
I definitely know what you mean about no time to think about deeper things though. I got about 3-4 hours to myself at the retreat this weekend, and I just went off to a quiet place to pray/think/read... and it was SO good. Amazing how much more clarity and perspective things take after a time like that. I wonder why I get so worried about life/the future. Jesus said only one thing matters... guess He was right.. =)
hooray! that's all I have to say.
