Sunday Morning

qosI finished the meat of my paper last night around 11pm. It does not, unfortunately, live up to the promise of those two paragraphs I posted last week. But it is done. I have a brief conclusion to write and a brief creative response, and I'll email it to the prof on Monday. It will have the virtue of being done -- which, unfortunately, is sometimes enough.
This morning, for the first time in ages, I got up and put in time on the treadmill. It wasn't a lot, only 105 calories burned, but that's a heck of a lot more than I've been doing, and I expect the count will go up as I persist.
I've realized recently that I need to take more control of my time if I'm going to have time to do the things I really want to do. So I've dusted off my Covey organizer, downloaded the free trial of their Outlook tool, and am waiting for the new charger for the new Palm that my dad just gave to me. Time to "make time for what matters most" and stop burning it up in soft addictions like mindless websurfing and equally mindless computer games.
In a few minutes I'm going to leave to attend the 9:30 meeting at the Friends/Quaker church, then its home, snack, change clothes, and take the daughter to a paint-your-own pottery store where we're going to be creative together for a few hours.
Happy day, everyone!

My suspicion is that you may look back at the result a few months from now and realize that it's not half bad. Not, perhaps, a manifesto for a revolution in Biblical scholarship...but not half bad.

Yep...me too. Someday. Somehow. Grumble. Sigh. Lament.
