Time for a change to this long unused blog

Well it is time to change this blog to a whole different use.  When I first started using this I thought I would use it to talk about local restaurants, then I decided to just use it to talk about what is going on in my life.  Now I have decided to use it to update friends and family who are interested in my journey to become an ordained methodist pastor.  That journey moved another step forward as of Thursday January 26 when I attended new student orientation at Saint Paul School of Theology.  Classes start in just over a week and then things will really change.  No longer will my unemployed days be spent watching tv, surfing the net and facebook.  I will have a lot of reading to do and also a lot of writing.  I know this is a short update but I just need to get in the hang of blogging again.  Thank you to all my friends and family that have kept my wife and I in your prayers as we move forward.  The next big step will be when I become a certified ministry candidate which I hope will happen next month.  More to come......
