Who knows about all these blog spots? Who reads them? Who has time to read them or check back like in my case who doesn't write in several months...life is too busy and too much going on to blog. But I'm sitting in the Pitts Library at Candler School of Theology or Emory University as it is better known doing more research on my doctorate. And so here it goes again...one more blog on my belt. I don't like this very much honestly...I'd rather talk to people than just write these random thoughts hoping to get a rise out of that close knit group of people who seem to read my blog.
What a weird world I live in. I travel to the States for three weeks, do a missions conference, do research, sit in on The Mission Society Board meeting and I fly home. See my family, go to school, do my research and have to present a paper that is heavier than that albatross that that guy talked about in his famous poem...part of growing old is forgetting names and where they came from. Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is the name of the poem and he is starving on his boat for water and he feels like an albatross is around his neck...me too.
The research is incredible, the writing is the grind but that is where the gold is refined and the diamonds are made. Press on dear friends. Take deep breaths and don't forget to dance in front of Jesus! He needs a good laugh every now and again!

I'm glad you're back.
I believe it's Coleridge.
Anna is sitting next to me, reading. Since when does she do that?
The only thing God needs so He can laugh is to look at that picture of you.
It was an unexpected surprise to see you at Bethel the other night. I hope you enjoyed our dinner music. Let me know when you are coming in town next time and we can try to grab some lunch or play 18.
Love you, brother.
Michael in the Pitt of Emory. Nice visual.
Always enjoy hearing from you. Would enjoy hearing from you more often. Hard to talk face-to-face from a few thousand miles away.
Joseph Ostin will be coming to Grace to preach in May and will be staying at my home. I cannot wait to see him again. I miss Ghana and am trying to get back there in 2009. Hopefully, I will be able to find a way to stay longer this time. Would love to see you and your family as well.
Say "hi" to the the Simms'. They were great hosts in your absence.
In Christ,

I miss you brother. Our Luke is quite a blessing. I'm with Brad - when you're back, let's play some golf. Hope your Luke is better.

I love Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, it's one of my favorites. It always makes me feel like my soul sinks with his on that boat and I can even smell the salt and hear the whisperers on board.
