looks like i'm already reaping the rewards

After this morning's liturgy for the Archangel Michael and his posse, I come to work to find out that I'm getting a new better job in the new year. I'm already enjoying the benisons of my study, it seems. Well, I can't count my chickens before they're hatched, we haven't yet discussed remuneration. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. Of course, I'd say the same if I got canned today, though I might say I deserved it, too.

i shall not die but live

As I said before the test, and it was true. By the grace of God, I have managed to survive my exam and probably have a decent shot of passing. Further, God has not yet seen fit to destroy me for my wickedness. "By the grace of God I am a Christian, by my deeds a great sinner..." So starts the book, anyway, and I think about it from time to time. Someday, I may be delivered from this body of death.

NO SHAVE NOVEMBER

I shaved off my beard because I am too wicked to deserve a beard, but this post serves as a reminder about NO SHAVE NOVEMBER, which I will participate in.

too wicked for my beard

The beard has returned (to rave reviews), but I really think it should be shaved (in shame, of course), because I am too wicked to deserve a beard (or a Blog). A compromise: I shall shave and then let it grow out again and VOW TO ALWAYS LIVE WORTHY OF THE BEARD. I hope, Dear Reader, we can live like this.

In case you're wondering...

...I'm too wicked to have a blog.

Birthday

Looking back, I only seem more wicked as the heavens complete each cycle around the earth.
