Summer
2008
Dear friends,
For those of you who have begun to wonder if I dropped off the planet, no
fear: I'm still here, enjoying my summer off from graduate
school--hurrah!--in my hometown of Petoskey,
Michigan. Yep, we moved. Again.
For the fifth time in three years. And we'll move again in late August, back
to North Carolina for my final year of
graduate school at Duke
Divinity School.
(And then--yes, you guessed it--we'll move AGAIN once I'm graduated next
spring, though we don't yet know where. And I wonder why I'm tired all the
time?!)
So, we're living in our old house, which has been a bit neglected since we
left in '05, and once things are cleaned up and settled I plan to do some
writing. And don't you wonder what it will be? Stay tuned! In the meantime,
there are some great new movies to watch about some of my favorite people,
including a young fellow named Caspian and a young authoress named Jane
Austen (if you haven't seen Becoming Jane,
you MUST!). Rumor has it, The Hobbit
isn't far behind. "The road goes ever on and on," as a famous
literary character has said. I'll keep you posted on where my road is
headed--as soon as I know more myself.
Have a blessed
summer, and keep walking with Jesus!

It is the mark of a good
fairy-story, of the higher or more complete kind, that however wild its
events, however fantastic or terrible the adventures, it can give to child or
man that hears it, when the 'turn' comes, a catch of the breath, a beat and
lifting of the heart, near to (or indeed accompanied by) tears, as keen as
that given by any form of literary art, and having a peculiar quality.
- J. R. R. Tolkien
