London, Someday:

After much, much deliberation I have decided not to go to London, for 8 months, in the Fall. Sad, I know, but exciting. I think the biggest reason for not going is my student loan. It wouldn't do to up and leave for 8 months when I've racked up a fair amount of debt. That would have just been placed on my parents' shoulder to pay while I was gone. It would also be a fairly frivolous trip. While I would have been going to be at the house of prayer I would have, truly, just been going to be there and I really don't think I need to "just be there" for 8 months.

Then there is the fact that it would have simply been a Christian discipleship program and I don't quite think that I need one of those. I have learned and would learn more here than I would across the pond. Neither do I need to spend $7000 to do it. That is money that will be better spent on a car!

Not going to London somewhatsucks sucks, but I wouldn't have changed my mind, honestly, unless there was something here for me. I don't quite know what that is, but, one day, I'll get me a good job or possibly a business and I just started leading a bible study over "Jesus the Bondage Breaker." And that is incredibly exciting. Last night was the first night, and despite a brain fart or two, things went fabulously. Then, of course, someday Ms. Whosoever will come into existence.

I'll talk more about all that later though. For now, Hays and the promise of grilled cheese.

Luv,
Clay
