It's Defended

So . . . it's done. I defended, and I got a "pass with no revisions." No content problems, no reader needs to see it again. The only changes I need to make are on small points of style.

It's a strange feeling. Much of my life over the past four years has revolved around writing and reading. Now I don't have to do any of that, despite the great enjoyment I get from both of those activities. The shift from intense study to intense pastoral work will take some adjustment.

I'm curious to know for myself what I will choose to read, and what I will choose to write about. Will I keep reading ancient theology? Will I keep writing about the Fathers of the Church? Or will I write about baseball and cappuccino?

You all will be the first to know, because "Baby Priest" is now my primary outlet for my thoughts and reflections. So stick around. It's a mapless terrain from here on in, and I could use some fellow travellers.
