To Be Continued...

Hello to you all.  I am extremely sorry I have really been slacking with this blog.  However, it is the tenth week of the quarter which means papers and text to the max.  I started the week with five papers, four tests, a vocab quiz, and a reading quiz.   However, I am now down to two papers and three tests.  The tests are all on Thursday and the two papers are due Friday.  I plan to get both papers done today and tomorrow, and then take all three tests Thursday of course.
I can't believe the first quarter is three and a half days away from being done.  It has went so fast, but has been enjoyable.  I have learned so much, and at the same time realized how much I have left to learn.  I really haven't been extremely cramped for time this past week, because I have still been able to enjoy Bible studies, tennis on the brand new courts, a movie with the guys, and enough time to not be completely deprived of sleep.  So it is not like I just did not have time to keep up with this blog.  However, after writing as many papers as I have written in the past week, and still two left to write, I am more or less just burnt out on writing.  My fingers have definitely gotten a great workout typing everything, and I have just needed the break from here to give them a rest too.  I do promise to write over my two week break as much as I can, and then next quarter start again with daily posts.  So I will most likely not write again until Saturday or Sunday, but will get back into after that.  Thank you for your patience.
My plan for break as of now is to go to class Friday, turn in my papers, then I have to work for an hour or so.  Then I will hopefully have the car packed so I can jump in and drive home.  I have to go to Iowa first to get my warm clothes, drop off my dirty laundry for mother, and eat supper of course.  Then depending on time, and how sick of driving I am, I would like to continue on to Nebraska yet Friday night.  I want to get to Nebraska so that I can get up about five A.M. Saturday morning, take the four wheeler, rifle, cup of coffee, and flash light to the creek, and then walk to my bin top and wait for sun rise. There is nothing better than sitting in your blind, tree stand, or in my case old roof of a grain bin, and waiting for the sun to rise.  Then as you watch the sun rise, you wait for the deer to walk past you and hope you get the shot at the big buck.  Last year I shot the first buck I saw, which was only a small four by three.  This year I am going to have a little more patience and wait for a decent size one.  I probably still wont be extremely picky, but hopefully at least hit a decent four by four.
Other than hunting, I will be busy hanging out with all my friends from college at Seward and trying to catch up with as many of them as possible. I also have some reading I would like to catch up on from this quarter.  Then the second half of my break will be spent back in Iowa with the family and friends there.  I think it is going to be great break, but fear it will be gone as soon as it starts.  Time only seems to go faster and faster.  
That is all I really wanted to write about.  I just wanted to let you know why I haven't been writing, reaffirm that I will be writing again very soon, and let you know my plans for break.  Thank you again for your patience and continued support.
Dear Heavenly Father, 
Please be with me as I finish my papers and tests this week.  Help me to finish the quarter strongly with good grades.  Thank you so much for the blessing to be here learning and growing in Your word and faith.  Please be with all of us seminary guys who will be traveling this weekend and grant us safe travels.  Thank you for every thing You continually give us.  We pray these things and all other prayers in our hearts in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
