my classes this semester

My classes this semester: 
 Survey of Modern Religions
 Preaching for the Pulpit
 History of the Restoration Movement 
 Modern Ethical Problems 
 The Fate of the Unevangelized
 Denominations & Cults 

A lot of things have been happening since I last wrote a serious entry in here. For one, I’m starting classes again, and I’m working at the Hilltop Café once more. Another thing is that Karen and I might be breaking up. I’m not going to give the reasons here, but suffice it to say that both of us have doubts regarding the relationship and its future. And these aren’t small doubts, either: they’re gigantic doubts that cloud over us when we’re together. We’ve been talking for several nights about it, opening up and being brutally honest with one another. No decisions have yet been made, but I would appreciate concern for the decisions that both of us make. Karen is very dear to me, and she’s one of the greatest friends I’ve ever had. But it takes more than friendship and love to make a relationship—not to mention a marriage—work. A good majority of divorces occur because the couple believed that “since we love each other, we’ll have a happy ending!” I’m not in high school, and I don’t buy into those pithy lies. I would like to think I’m more mature now. Maybe that’s a stretch. But I’m trying to deal with this maturely.
