From the Crevices of Chris' Cranium

Thursday, November 6, 2008

Has caused me to re-examine my life.

Chris: Austin, Texas, United States; I am a seminary student at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. At first it was somewhat strange being back in school for the first time in 18 years, but I love what I am studying and have quite a different approach and attitude than I did as an undergraduate. Before starting graduate school I was the Youth Director at the First Presbyterian Church of Annapolis. I coordinated youth fellowship, Sunday school, summer mission trips, confirmation class and anything else that involved the 6th through 12th grade students. I was also the Facilities Manager as well but an accident changed that. In March of 2008 I fell at work and shattered my right knee. I had multiple surgeries and now my right leg isn't quite what it used to be. My knee only bends about 40-45 degrees and I can not stand or walk for extended lengths of time. It has a taken a bit of adjusting getting used to being partially disabled, but in the grand scheme of things it could have been much worse. I am now truly a member of "The Ministry of Silly Walks."
