and here we are at the end looking back

i absolutely cannot believe that this is the last day of classes for the spring 2008 semester. i also cannot believe that i'm still overwhelmed and will be until a week from now. arg. but at least there are some interesting things to discuss.
*
i guess foremost among them is the fact that this semester is finally almost over. this has been the most difficult semester of my life. i am ready for the break that may is going to bring me. i am incredibly excited about my new roommates and our house (we totally move in on thursday). they are really incredible guys, and i am blessed to have the opportunity to live with them. i am also acutely aware of the fact this means i have to pack up my apartment and leave an equally awesome roommate behind. ah the bittersweet nature of change. but it's definitely time for me to move on.
*
would i have changed anything about this semester? well, if i had complete power over the world and how things worked, then yeah. but seeing as i don't, then there really aren't many things i would change. i would make myself be a lot less stressed by being more on top of things. i would have been more careful around kroger shopping carts. i also would have taken more time to just enjoy the company of my friends. at the same time i would have taken more time for me to be alone.
*
what am i doing over the summer? well, other than taking 9 hours of classes in june, going to zimbabwe for 2 weeks in july, and working throughout? um...i guess i'm going to read a whole hell of a lot, play some smash brothers brawl and xbox (the latter of which i haven't done since around thanksgiving), turn 20, spend time with my roommates, see my sister and brother-in-law off to parts unknown, welcome my cousin's son into the world, write some, pray some, and generally let my spirit be rejuvinated.

Hey Dan, David Perry directed me toward your blog. My name is Colin Fagan, and like you, am extremely interested in theology and the evolutionary thoughts of christian thinkers. My bent lends itself specifically to the jewish context of the whole Bible, but I still enjoy healthy study of exegetical discussion.

I read your previous post about atonement, and I will be looking forward to your thoughts on the topic. It certainly is an interesting topic of discussion. I would certainly agree the focal point of the cross has various levels of needed study in order for its impact to be fully understood and communicated accordingly. Hopefully you will happen upon several fresh insights to share.

Best of luck with your study and I look forward to reading them.
