Life

Back at work.

Well, I know that a post has been long overdue, but a lot has happened since then; I’m just beginning to catch my breath.Â The Trinity Fellows Program ended on June 1, culminating in a fantastic week at the Southern Shores of the Outer Banks, North Carolina.Â I took a week after the program was over to visit home in Atlanta before heading back up to Charlottesville.

I saw the DaVinci Code with Ginger (it was so-so; for those that haven’t read the book, I bet it was confusing, but for people like me who had, it dragged a bit at times), ran some errands while in town, and met Clark at the Sweetwater Brewery to volunteer for a couple of hours in return for a case or two of their excellent beer.Â ;)Â An interesting and fun experience, to be sure.

Anyway, i’m back in Charlottesville starting up work again and trying to get my new townhouse in order.Â Greetings to everyone who wondered where I’d gone.Â 😉

I’m not dead.

No, I’m not dead. But I have been really, really busy. The Fellows Program is winding down a bit, but I’ve been having exams and papers all over the place. I actually have a paper due @ 9:00 AM tomorrow morning… so I’ll be up pretty late tonight.

My parents came and visited over the weekend and I took a few nice pictures. I’ll upload them to my Flickr when I get a chance to breathe.

we're all burning up, burning brightly.

He is Risen

The Resurrection

24:1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, â€œWhy do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.â€ 8 And they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, 11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened. ( Luke 24:1-12, ESV )
