Hey everyone,
I have exciting news to share finally! This past week I was officially notified that I have been accepted into the Diocese of Charleston's Diaconate Formation program!
This means I will enter formal classes beginning next month (one per semester) for the next four years on the way to becoming an ordained Deacon. I already have a list of six books I need to start reading for the first class. We will be meeting the third Saturday of every month for the foreseeable future.
I ask you all for your prayers for me and my family as we embark on this journey!

We're about to move again ourselves. Want to help pack? I certainly don't feel like doing it...
I really miss this place. I made some awesome friends here. I know that I don't check in often anymore and I'm sorry about that. You guys helped me to gain confidence in my writing, which I'm now doing full time as a freelancer. The pay could be better but it beats having a real job! Actually, the pay isn't really bad. I do a lot of ghost writing and also content writing for websites.
Congrats, Al, that everything is going well for you. I hope that with your own squadron of next generation warriors that it's a big house!
