Here I Go Again On My Own....

Well, I know that it's been a while since I posted, but I thought that enough had happened to warrant a new post. I adopted an abandoned kitten, and I've named him "Oscar." He's absolutely adorable! He's sweet, and he loves people, unlike my other cat, haha! I still miss Waffles a great deal, but I'm over the hard, hurtful part of it all. When I go down to West Virginia, I still put a little bunch of wild flowers on his grave.

I've also put almost 3000 miles on my motorcycle. That's quite exciting. Since it's been broken in, I've noticed a great increase in the smoothness of the transmission, as well as a boost in fuel economy. I've taken it on some fairly long trips (out to Shippensburg and back was about 300 miles), and I've done ok. In the next few weeks or so, I hope to go on an "Iron Butt" ride.

I was appointed pastor at the Arona Church of the Nazarene by the Pittsburgh District Superintendant of our church. I'm also in the assessment process for a district license. I currently possess all the powers and priviledges of being a district licensed minister. That's pretty neat. One new person has started coming to church, which is exciting!

I also start Seminary next week. This week is my orientation, so I'll find out what classes I'm taking and such, so it should be a good week.

I'm also starting on a new religious series of oil paintings. I'm going to try to take some pictures and scan them into the computer, and possibly put them up here. I have one done already, and there are a couple more swimming around in my head. I'm going to try to put them down on canvas today, so I'm pretty excited about that.

Also, a heads up for all you sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts: Archery season is just around the bend! It looks to be an exciting hunting season down on my property in West Virginia! We've got some good food plots out, and we have some deer roaming through there, and it should be good! I'm also looking forward to muzzle loader season later in the year. Well, I guess that's about it for now, so I'll hopefully post later this week to let you all know about the exciting things going on with Seminary!
