big day to be abd

Okay I have to break in on my swaziland thoughts to tell myself (or my blog, or you or whatever) that early early this morning I finished my LAST paper for the academic portion of my doctor of ministry program! This was a big one for me, and while I've loved all the things I've learned, my classmates, the professors, I must confess it is nice to be done with this part. Now I can start on my LAST big paper, my dissertation. But to have this done is exciting for me! Woo Hoo!

Cheers and blessings.
