Going Home

I know I haven't posted in a while. Since I work at a school, they have a pretty good firewall up. Lately, I've been able to read blogs, but I haven't been able to publish on mine. Since I don't have a computer at home, it makes it difficult to publish stuff if I can't do it at my work computer. Anyway...

I just got back from Abilene. I really do love that city. I have very fond memories of my college experience at ACU. Going to homecoming lets me visit with old friends and remember a simpler time in my life. I really enjoy the calmness that I feel when I'm there - things don't seem to be in such a rush. Highlights of the weekend include riding from Abilene to Baird and back on the access road of I-20, seeing my really great friends from Nashville, going to club breakfast with friends and watching a good kid I know perform as a sibling, talking with professors who are friends and mentors, seeing my sister pledge a club she's wanted to join since 1996, and reconnecting with a friend that I know from my time spent at A&M because he married an ACU grad and was there with her. Some people may laugh because I love the college I went to so much, but I think of all of the significant relationships in my life that have been formed because of my attendance there and my affection for ACU becomes even deeper.

I was asked on Thursday, the day before I left for homecoming, if I would consider becoming part of the faculty in the counseling program at UNT after I graduated with my doctorate in a couple of years. I feel extremely flattered that people believe I'm qualified to teach in such a good program. I will think and pray about it; however, if there's a chance that I can end up at a place like ACU, I would take the opportunity there in a heartbeat so that I could become part of such a great institution. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what God has in store for me.

Thanks for reading.
