Immanuel, God With Us

It's been a while since I posted a blog. I thought about posting and tried to post a few days ago, but all that ended up coming out was, well, pretty much crap. In an attempt to resurrect this habit, I'm coming to you again, live from my office at First Baptist Church of Belton. I like typing that out.

Since the last time I blogged, I have realized (actually I just now learned this) that I need an atmosphere of peace and escape in order to successfully blog. I was reflecting over some of my better and more notorious posts on my first blog(s) and found that I used to be extremely good at blogging. It didn't matter when or where I was, whenever I sat down at a computer I could easily compose a blog in a few matters. Now, I know there is a bit of variation to what a blog really is. I mean, if you're Glynis Akins, a blog is a jumbled mix of lyrics to songs. If you're Daniel Rowe, it's a daily update from YouTube. And that's okay, I guess. I mean, I don't really think there's a perfect blog or a perfect way to blog, and I know that this blog isn't without it's blemishes. The point I'm trying to make is really, I miss blogging, and being able to blog.
I'm starting a new paragraph just to detail that further. I miss blogging my life and thoughts with people who cared and would read and share. I also miss reading the about the lives and thoughts of other people, and knowing them so well I couldn't help but care about them. And of course, I miss being able to silence myself away from everything else and give singular devotion, commitment, and attention to waxing poetic. Or, waxing foolishness. Or just plain waxing.

A new semester is less than 24 hours away. For some, however, I wouldn't be surprised that Spring 08 came a day or two early and you've already started. This semester I'm taking 14 hours -- Biblical Backgrounds (3), Brit Lit II (3), Later Pauline Epistles (3), Elementary Greek II (4), and Conditioning (1). Last semester, as you may have read, I pretty much hated my classes. The only one I really honestly enjoyed was...well...really, probably Greek. And even then, I have a bit of a disagreement with taking Greek and making it so difficult. But then, I really don't feel like opening the can of worms that topic could be. Furthermore, I've digressed.
Last semester I hated class. I didn't enjoy or like a one of them, save the Greek mind you, but this semester I'm...marginally more interested in class. Mainly, I'm curious to see what awaits for me in my biblical studies class The Later Pauline Epistles. I really enjoy Paul's letters, and to be honest, I freaking love Paul just in general, so I'm excited and anxious to see what good and glorious things I can learn from taking this class. I favor more the New Testament than the OT, and in the NT I am extremely in love with books like Ephesians, the Corinthians and Thessalonians, and Galatians and Romans. So, we shall see. Yes indeed, we shall see.
Well, I must be off to go eat lunch.
