Soon I will be a Master...

Finished the rough draft of my thesis proposal today. Its all down hill from here. Soon, I will be a master! All I got to do now is walk in some streams (6-8 weeks), compile everything into a report, and make a conclusion. Then, presto...Masters Degree!


on an unrelated note....

Yesterday I went to work at Habitat for Humanity. Everytime I wake up to go volunteer I regret it. Its so early and usually cold. There is this 15 minutes span of time where I really wonder why I am up so early on a saturday and wonder if anyone would even notice if I went back to sleep. Interestingly enough, I usually spend the next 5.5 hours glad that I made the decision to go. The ideas and methods of Habitat are so good, and you can really see the work youre doing. the homeowners are usually around also, and they are oh so gratefull. At the end of the day, you can look at your hands and see the ware and tear. It makes me feel like a man.

Yesterday, as I sat on top of a wall on the 2nd floor of a home, with a 25 foot fall if I leaned backwards and a 9 foot fall if I leaned forward, I felt at home. Big nails and a big hammer in hand. We started with a floor and ended with walls, rooms, and setup for trusses.

Its times like these when I most feel the tug of God's will on me to serve others.
