Taking Leave

In case there are folks actually reading this, I am taking a one year leave of absence from school. My plan is to help Hillary with her new schoolwork and make a real effort at our marriage and relationship. The distance apart and challenge of two difficult programs were more than seemed manageable at one time. We will get her program finished this summer and then see if we can’t improve ourselves as a couple moving forward.

I rested and became human again for the first month and dove in on some important tasks that were pending for Hillary. Now that things are on firmer footing, I will study when I can and possibly work on an old book I had started. This break has already given me a chance to realign my priorities and think hard about where God wants me. School has been both joyful and disappointing. At some point I may elaborate as to why.

I will likely write here over the next year. Hopefully, it will lend an extra-interesting perspective to an already odd student profile like mine. I begin school again next February. Hope this finds you in good spirits and in good health.
