It will soon be 2012

I haven't written in this space for quite a long time.  "I'm busy" is too easy of an excuse, but that's been the case. We've been preparing for months to move Seabury Western Theological Seminary from its long time home in Evanston IL to 8765 W Higgins Rd. in Chicago.  Our new "home" is in the headquarters building of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  Thus far, they have been great neighbors.  Prior to the move, they were willing to help with whatever extra space we needed for board meetings or classes.  Now that we are officially "in" the building, we've found that they are always wiling to help.  There is still work to be done in the chapel and classroom, but we're working there (other than now while we're on Christmas break).  Vocational interest is good in BSG, and we've got a couple of prospects in the vocations pipeline.  I always emphasize taking one's time while seeking a vocation, especially in a religious community.  A Facebook post today by my BSG bro Karekin in San Francisco is timely:   

Be patient. Be patient. Don't be in such a hurry. When you are impatient it only makes you worry. Remember. Remember, that God is patient too. Think of all the times that God has had to wait for you.

It's still Christmas.  New Year's Eve is this Saturday.  So Merry Christmas to all !
