It appears that I need to clarify a few things�

Moving: YES!!! However, before you panic, I must say that it is still in the distant future. I do intend to finish my Masters Degree here in Marin. I just have decided, that while a second MA is a good thing, I don�t necessarily want it from the GTU. There is a better program (for me�) in Seattle. And Seattle happens to be the place I call HOME. So� unless the heavens change course�and they often do!�My plan is to finish the course work here and do my Internship fourth year in Seattle. While I know that you can never truly go home� I also know there is no other place I feel more myself. (of course it remains to be seen if I can live without the beach!)

Ordination: YES!!! It�s on perma-hold. I know. That may come as a shock for some of you. However, again, it�s about being at home. Lately (the past year) the idea of being ordained has felt more like a gun to my head than home. Until that changes, I don�t see the point of being unhappy. In fact� to use my Presbyterian friend�s language: I seriously doubt you could define that feeling as a �call�.

So� where that leaves me. Well, as stated� I�m finishing here. While ordination is a long shot at best, the degree will serve my future intentions just fine. As for what those are� stay tuned.
