Reflection: Today I began a new chapter in my life as I started a Doctor of Ministry Program with a concentration in Worship, Spirituality, and Preaching at Drew University. This journey began two years ago when I felt a call to write and teach in a way that would help congregations look at Reconciliation as part of their very mission as the Body of Christ. So, after a ruff discernment process, this program at Drew seemed to be a good marriage of practical theory with theology and I have been excitedly looking forward to starting! Thus, I will be going to Drew for intensive week classes for the next few years as I work to a dissertation. Already, I have had fun being in the classroom again, even though I was already behind on some work (much to my horror!). I would like to give a huge "thank you" to Ken and Delia who have already been so supportive in this first day. I love you guys!! I would welcome any and all prayers. Thank you!
