Tonight I graduated from the Education for Ministry course that is a program of the University of the South at Sewanee which is an Episcopal university in Sewanee Tennessee. This was a four-year course in Old Testament, New Testament, Church History, and Theology. I am not the best student but I made it through and I am grateful for making this an important part of my life. Hopefully, it will help others as it helped me. It was a challenge and I finished. Yay Me!
I have been taking a religious study course over the past four years. There was a lot of reading and much mental and even some physical power was used. Believe it or not, I am not a very prolific reader. That is why I like blogs because they are by-in-large short articles.
My course is ending on Monday and I hope to be able to rejoin the blogging community as a reader as much as I am a blogger/writer. It’s cool to read and write like a hard disk does. It’s funny how all that works.
Thanks for continuing to follow me and check out my posts. Life can be better with blogging.
Your friend, Tony

There’s a lot going on at the moment. It seems most of it is bad.
The shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo has a racist and hate-filled overtone. May those who lost their lives be remembered and those who survived have comfort.
Thoughts and prayers are bullshit unless some real action towards a solution is found. It’s an insult to victims and survivors of gun violence in my mind.
Control and power are making some drunk and causing others much pain and suffering.
Women deserve better and they should not be controlled by men and other women.
Love and peace seem to be losing the day. May they not lose in the end.
A cool-down would be nice right about now.
There’s so much more going on out there This list is getting kinda long.
The weekend has begun good people. Let us all celebrate. Have a great one. Behave if you must.
