wounded warrior

A fellow journeyman struggling to rediscover his first love. These are my tears, my wounds, my struggles, and my questions. May, as the saints of old have said, they be the tools other's lives are built on.

Expanding minds are a terrible thing to waste

As I am putting the final touches on my exiting thesis paper, I realizing how incomplete the paper is.  This paper could easily turn into a master's thesis.  There is so much more I want to learn and read and research.  In some ways I feel like I am just getting started.  I also feel like I am trapped by the requirements of the degree program from doing and exploring all that I wish to.  Torn between exploring what I am passionate about and the professional requirements of ministry.  In the words of Nouwen and Piper, when did ministry ever become professional? 

Oh how I long for the summer when I can read what I want and write what I want.  I already bought 4 books today to add to my summer reading list.  Thanks Dave for telling me about the dollar book store.
