I'm having those feelings one has whenever they've been sitting too long reading and looking at a computer screen. Suddenly, I begin longing for vacation. To sit down with good historical fiction in my hand and just let my fantasy be taken to another time and place. Things for which I never had time, before starting to study, I find myself making time for. I know I have a lot I still need to get done, but I'm just not interested now. I'd like to have a week off, or a month.
On the other hand, paradoxically I am really enjoying what I'm learning. It's all fascinating stuff. (For me at least). I think I'm going about the whole thing a lot better this time than when I was at Warner. I realize there's a lot to do in life and I'm trying to take studies a little less seriously than I used to. It's important to get the most out of the time, but not at the sacrificing of the most important things.
As I say this, my wife is sitting with her parents sipping tea and the lame duck husband is reading English teaching theory books. I guess that's it. That's why I named the site "fire and ice". There's a balance to life. As much as I'd like to be everywhere, doing everything I always said I would, I can't.
Seeing God today as the wonderful purifier. Heard a good sermon and some wonderful comments from people, about what God's doing in their lives. It's good to hear of the sweet oil of the Spirit in the lives of friends and family. It soothes my soul.
