Uphill idealist

Image found @: The Cupcake Blog Someday,  when I graduate from Seminary I want to  celebrate with "Scrabble" cup cakes. Because, the only way I'll make it to graduation day  is one letter, word and sentence at a time. Earlier this week, I applied to the "Castle" Wartburg Seminary's: TEEM program  (Theological Education for Emerging Ministries). Lot's of work had already gone into getting to this point. (Three years of essays, prayer, interviews, and more have gone into this discernment process that is called " ELCA Candidacy" .) Good thoughts, prayers, and maybe a Scrabble game or two are welcome as I wait to hear if I start classes in September. One letter, word and sentence at a time. Seminary? Yes. Seminary. It feels good to share this word with you. :)

I stumbled across this video for Mars Hill Graduate School and I don't have words to express the myriad of feelings that washed over me. The few student stories that I heard seemed so familiar - like part of what they are expressing are bits of my story as well. How can a school so geographically far away seem so much like home? That is the mystery. Let me know if you have any suggestions in solving this mystery.
