It's been awhile
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing...
I have decided to not apologize for not updating in over three or four months, nor am I going to promise that I'll update more regularly, I simply am not going to be following any sort of strick or even semi consistent schedule of updating. I haven't updated in awhile for many reasons, most of which I'd rather not share or trouble you with, but I guess first and foremost I am just lazy... I have probably said that plenty of times.
Life has been going pretty well over the past few weeks, school on schedule, work not too busy. I am taking an Ancient Greek course this semester, I'm thoroughly enjoying this class I must admit. I originally started taking this class becasue I really wanted to be able to read the new testament of the bible in the language in which it was written. Lately, it has come to my attention that this could become a valuable asset if I were to eventually help in translation of the bible. But that's a good long ways down the line.
I have been going through a lot of transitions the past few weeks, actually getting on track with everything, staying on top of my school and to do list at least a majority of the time. I don't know, maybe I have finally matured past being a college freshman.
Currently I have started reading (and by started reading I mean I have read the introduction so far) the book Omnivores Dilemma. I don't know much about it other than it's about food, and eating healthy, an that apparently reading it will destroy me. I am looking forward to reading this book but I still need to find time to sit down and read it.
I suppose what has been sitting on my mind most lately is the whole idea of sacrifice, ya know. I have been thinking a lot about what I want to do and what is required of me to accomplish this. I know, almost without a doubt, that I am going to return to the mission field when I am done with college, but what that looks like fo me right here right now is kind of a work in progress. I have an extraordinary passion for arab islam, a.k.a.: the middle east area of the world. So the questions I have been asking myself recently is what I need to be doing now, right here right now, to prepare myself for something like that. And even if I am not called to go to that area of the world, is what I am doing going to affect me for the better no matter where I go? I have been trying to scale down on many a things, such as food, I am making an honest effort be aware of what I am putting into my body. I have even started in planning on trying to learn how hunt with a bow, gut and clean a deer or orther various small animal, and prepare it to be stored then eaten. I want to do this simply because I want to see my food from walking around/alive to going into my body.
There are many other things that I have been doing but nothing really worth making remarks about right now... at 11:30 at night, gaaa... tired. Anyway, I am pretty tired, and I know I probably left plenty of unfinished tangents, but right now, it's too late.
Write more at some uncertain point in an unspecific future time.
