It is finished...at least for a few years


Well, it's finally official: I'm a grad! Sunday night I received my diploma and finished my M.Div. That's my Dad, wife, son (notice the bulging belly) and me above. For those who haven't heard, our plans are: 1) Dawn will finish working this Friday and stay home with Noah (resting and taking care of the home until he's born). 2) I will continue working at HSBC for the next 2-5 years in the attempt to "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" in order to pay for a PhD in NT (at the University of Aberdeen if the Lord allows). 3) Meanwhile, I'll be working as a grad assistant at CBTS for the next year (part time) and doing some preparatory reading in order to go Deep and Wide in NT studies (I bet you never thought you'd see a 50 Cent movie and Deep and Wide mentioned in the same paragraph).

Nate,

Congrats on the graduation and on your awards. Julie and I are praying that you (and Hayton) stay faithful to the gospel!

Congratulations. I have 1 final left before I join you as a "Master of Divinity."

Nate,
Well done. I hope things go well over the next couple of years. Find your self a wealthy benefactor and come to a PH.D in Scotland!

well,
i'm not all that surprised...
you do seem to have nurtured both a strange obsession with children's songs (see previous - "my little pony" post) and a morbid interest in firearms at the same time (however that is possible). let's just hope that the first time you're shot 9xs, that you come out of it as well as 50 did.
