Dave Update

Ok, so it has been a while since I've written anything of an autobiographical nature on this site; and since I have five minutes to spare, I might as well do the ditty now. "Do the ditty" is a phrase which I just coined, I believe it means, "write an updated autobiographical blurb."

David Jones is currently sitting in the Buswell library of Wheaton College writing his most current autobiographical blurb. Recently, he's been hard at work putting together a groundbreaking training website for the ten Salvation Army corps who have entered the final stage of grant applications for Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Centers. "I've learned a lot of things as I've worked on this project," says Jones, who is known for his earthshatterly concrete descriptions of his vocational activities. The inside scoop has it he's currently writing articles and researching existing web-resource to help Salvationists incorporate wise principles in everything from urban ministry to fund-raising.

Jones lives with his wife Sarah on the third floor of the Amli apartments near the Danada shopping center. The Danada shopping center was named after Dan and Ada Rice. Isn't that interesting?

Sarah Jones is currently growing at an exponential rate in her general midriff area. She attends a weekly birthing course with her husband, David. This course involves a stuffed placenta, ambient music, and bloody videos, and may not be suitable for anyone under the age of 12.

David Jones is now currently wondering why, this autobiographical sketch is 1) written in a biographical style 2) not so much about David Jones any more 3) thinking how he should go pick up his wife because it is now 5:00

Oh yeah! Guess what? I got into Gordon Conwell a few months ago! So we're planning to move to the Boston Area May 15. Feel free to move out there with me!

OK, time to go now.

yes.

Are you thinking of going the pastoral or the academic road? Or perhaps there is a door #3?

Dave said...

I don't know. Right now, the theme is: one step at a time.

Do you remember the movie "What About Bob?": baby steps into Gordon...

Dave said...

never saw it...

Dave, you need to watch "What About Bob." It brings a whole new meaning to baby steps. Congrats on the Gordon College acceptance, and I may just take you up on that encouragement to follow you to Boston if you stay there long enough. Are you looking forward to being closer to your homes? I'll come visit you some time when I visit my parents if you are interested.

Hey Davey, what happened to Verdak?
