Thanks Pakled, for the well wishes. I will definitely keep up my art, Carolly. I noticed that there is a Fine Arts commitee of the Student Association, so I will be checking that out. Thanks again Dave-So for the encouragement. I planned to go to seminary shortly after receiving my bachelor's degree, but its taken me seven years to get started. Though there were some very real world issues that slowed me down, I think I was partly just frightened of the task. I am glad I am going forward with it now. It feels like I am doing the right thing. Thanks again everyone, Jay
