squash, unworthiness, moose, bladder, eyes open, traveling, love

Here is Erin at 26 weeks. I think her belly resembles a squash. Erin has informed me that there are many different types of squash. So I have decided it looks like a pumpkin. For the record, I cannot wait to see my daughter and feel the weight of unworthiness and inadequacy. I cannot wait to hold her in my arms. Anyway, I have been writing and thinking about ethics a lot lately and what it means to authentically love my neighbour and decenter myself for the other, but I am not a big blogger type, I use xanga more as a way of informing friends and the collective whoever that stumble on my page. I appreciate everyone's thoughtfulness (Ashleigh, Hannah, and Steve's posts for example) but I would rather preserve deep conversation for when I meet you on the street. I would rather use the Internet to tell you that Erin and I saw a huge moose by the hospital in Three Hills last week. So, our little girl is moving around lots and enjoys kicking Erin's bladder. Her eyes are now open and she can recognize and distinguish different sounds. I talk and sing to her all the time. Erin finally received her Bachelor of Arts degree two weeks ago. She is excited about not having to do school ever again. Well, this week I start traveling again. I will be joining the Christian College University Fair Tour on Thursday. We are working our way west (Kelowna, Abbotsford, Victoria, etc.). I get to go to Vancouver Island, so that will be nice. Also, I know someone in every city on the tour, so it will be nice to catch up with people like Barry Sommer, Daniel Enns, Jordan Vantol, and Chris Brambleby. Anyway, here is the quote for the day: "For if love is the measure, the only measure of love is love without measure." John D. Caputo

I'm jealous of Erin, I am so close to getting my degree, yet so far away. I agree, her belly is quite pumkin-esk, and cute!
