Posting articles I marked while on my blogging hiatus: Wayne Grudem says we should vote for a Mormon to become President – and that’s no small endorsement in my book.

. . . that is in regard to my return to blogging. I am quite sure I will resume blogging before the next millennium. However, the return will not be before 2008 unless something really excites or irks me before then. My month hiatus has turned into a multi-month break from blogging, although I have been keeping up with a few blogs here and there. My feedreader is stuffed with unread material. My doctoral writing project continues and I hope to be finished with the bulk of it by the end of the year. I also find myself one week away from leading our annual Christmas Concert (after about 20 rehearsals since October) at church, the completion of our 2008 Budget process (of which I oversee) and I should finish preaching through Romans 8 by the end of the year.

All is set for her adoption to be final – we anticipate around the first of the year. And, while I did not report on it, we have another little one with us: Josie. We were not sure that we would have her more than a week, but that week has now turned into four and a half months, since she came into our home at the ripe old age of five days old (I’ll post pics when I officially return to blogging). The foster/adoption process can be (really, ‘is’) a difficult road to follow. We ask for your prayers...
