Well today is a big day for me. This morning I preached my very first sermon and I didn't get stoned or anything. I was nervous up until I got to the pulpit, then very calm. I feel good about it. I feel like God was glorified through it.
However it has made me come to face a reality I had tried to forget. I think I may be heading to seminary sometime in the future. At one point I had really wanted to do that, but over the years I thought seminary was full of stiff religious people and their doctrine. It may be, or it may not. Well, it will be full of doctrine but so is everyone else. But in the mean time I am going to be heading to England this fall. I got my acceptance letter! Soon I'll be writing (or neglecting) this blog with a cup of tea in my hand and my nose in my bible.
That's all for now, blogland. I was just excited to tell everyone that I preached. Yee haw!
(Also sometimes I'm a cowboy)

- There is so much to write on this subject. People should ask me this when I'm an old man and I'll ramble on so they may write a book. Some of it would even be true.

Hey Cowboy Mike!! I'm glad to hear your preaching went well! I think you have much Godly insight and a sense of humour that can see God's appreciation for jokes and cheese (i still remember your council on hearing God's voice!) That's interesting to read that your considering seminary...SBS will surely get you primed for theological academia!! And i think you will bring life even to the stuffiest of religious lodgings! Do well, my friend, and continue to keep us posted,eh?!
Many blessings and prayers,
Farmer Mike (an inside joke who's origin i almost forget but seemed appropriate...i bet you didn't know i was a farmer by title?!)
