Hmmm . . .

Well, as time has shown I am no good at blogging consistently; which of course does not prevent me from doing so in the future. It only demonstrates my lack of determination thus far.

And why, you ask, is he so inconsistent at blogging? Well, to tell you the truth, it goes something like this. It's been so long since I've blogged; I should do that soon. In fact, I could do that now. But, alas! I have so many other things to do that are of immanent importance. How can I spend time blogging when I find myself not spending enough time in the other areas of my life for necessary sanity? For example, how can I blog when I really should do this homework assignment; or when I feel that I could be spending more time reading Scripture?

That's how the thinking goes.

So how has this post come into cyberspace? By means of the few extra precious hours afforded me during my Spring break. And so, as usual, I must apologize for my blogspot absence. However, this time I make no promises for future consistency, realizing this may gain me very little readership.

So I thought a life-update of sorts would be in order.
I am not sure if I have ever posted my schedule for this semester on my blog, but regardless, here it is: I'm taking Beginning Hebrew II, Intermediate Latin II (in which I am translating books I, II, and VI of Vergil's Aeneid [and for the sake of jucunditas, here I must explicate Vergil's full name, since I think it's so cool: Publius Vergilius Maro; just say it out loud a few times--I'm confident you'll begin to grow fond of it too]), Christian Theology I, Local Church Education, and Hebrews.

This semester has been really tough for me. I am still learning to balance my life. I have a certain amount of homework necessary to be done each week, and I have yet to accomplish that amount (I thank the Lord for spring break, as it is affording me the opportunity to catch up on things unfinished). Fortunately, I am probably doing better than last semester, but am still unsatisfied with my performance this semester.

I had my wisdom teeth surgically removed this Monday, and am currently recuperating. As I said, this week the plan is to catch up on homework, while taking things easy.

Next semester I plan to take the following courses: Christian Theology II: Salvation/Holiness, Ecclesiology, History of Christianity I, Evangelism and Global Outreach (with a one-hour practicum), an intermediate Hebrew course, and Grace in the Early Church.

This summer I plan to learn New Testament Greek, using J. Gresham Machen's New Testament Greek for Beginners. It was first published in 1923. My friend Dusty Fecht and I will be studying with Dr. Ken Schenck. I also plan to be doing some Latin translation of Commodianus with Dr. David Riggs.

Hopefully more later; but for now, farewell, and peace to you.
