I am still alive, and I've had plenty of thoughts to post recently, but little time to post them!

Ironically, as soon as I wrote in my November newsletter that FSM was not too academically challenging, I went into Stephen Venable's "Introduction to Biblical Doctrine" class and was educated otherwise.  Actually, the class still wasn't terribly hard, but it did definitely require me to work and to think a lot - in fact, I'm still thinking a lot about several subjects on which he taught.  Which is what I came to FSM for, of course!  But posting on the blog has taken second place to academics for the past month.

Also, I've decided to fast from the Internet for a while by getting rid of my wireless card and limiting my Internet time to an average of 1 hour a day.  So posting here has become doubly challenging.

I highly recommend Internet fasting, by the way.  It's amazing how much the Internet can dominate my life.  And it really is possible to survive without Internet at home and even without wireless!  Public computers in the places like public libraries actually work fine for getting important stuff done online, and I actually focus on what I'm trying to get done on my laptop when I don't have email constantly open in the background... or even an option to open it up when I feel like procrastinating!

So anyway, maybe at some point I will get back to posting as regularly as I hoped, but for right now, it's less Internet and more Jesus for me (at least that's the plan!)
