Settlers
Congrats all the way 'round for Natalie's acceptance to Rutgers! Susanne and I will be so sad to see Natalie and Peter leave, but I am so happy to know them and to see where they are going in the future that I'm excited for her to get on out so I can talk about her to people I know in five years.
In my dream world, I have constructed a town. And in that town there are several of my best friends who have many roles. When I was at the seminary I found too many people who would run my local church. Natalie and I and Bryan and Susanne are all people I would want running the town's university. Now, with so many of my friends approaching ordination, part of that dream is coalescing. The other part will be complete when Natalie is finished with her doctorate, and she and Peter join us. Natalie also volunteered Peter as the town atheist.
If I can get everyone together in this town, I think it will be a little slice of heaven on earth, just a bunch of overeducated sinners with lots of great conversations.
Now accepting applications.
