-Next Tuesday, December 8th, Chelsea and I are driving down to Ocean City, Maryland to preach at the DEEP, the youth ministry of Ocean City Worship Center.
-Next Friday, December 11th will be the last day of class in my undergraduate education. I don't really know how I feel about that one.
-Thursday December 17th will be my last final of my undergraduate education.
-Saturday December 19th I will leave Valley Forge for the last time to go back to Pittsburgh.
I am currently still looking for a position to take as a youth and associate pastor. it's still my dream and I believe my calling in life. My passion is to learn as much as I can and to take what I learn and reciprocate it back to people who need to hear in an effective way. I am currently candidating at two churches, so we will see where that goes. As far as education, my plan is to take next semester off from school, and then no matter where I am, serving in the church or in a secular place, I want to begin graduate level work in the Fall of 2010 online. I've been looking at a couple of places, but am nowhere close to deciding on where I would want be.
I still am in the middle of like 50 books, so next semester hopefully will see the fulfillment of me completing them. I have enjoyed this semester blogging about Tozer based on my daily devotions and will continue to that on the next book that I read. Here are some of the things I'm reading or going to be reading and how the blogs are going to look in the future:
-Core Values by George O. Wood (reading for myself, probably wont blog about it)
-Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller (read the first chapter; have heard positive/negative things about it)
-The Theologia Germanica of Martin Luther (will probably be my next blog review)
-The Forgotten Ways by Alan Hirsch
-Vintage Jesus by Mark Driscoll
-Jesus for President by Shane Claiborne and Chris Haw
Those will probably be on my reading list through Christmas and New Years, as the end of the semester takes up most of my time with school work. This is it, and we'll see where it goes. Thanks to everybody who's been a part of this journey so far and who has helped to make it successful. Thanks to everybody who believes in me and supports me, it does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

As one of my youth pastors influenced me, I'll share it with you, no matter how much you hate it.
"Why would God bless your finances and job opportunities if you like to steal?"
You just laughed. That's okay.
But think about it. I never was jobless and had everything I needed after that when I stopped.
Praying for you man. You need to be a YP in DE. Best of both worlds.
See ya dude
