Busy semester, but almost done

This semester has been much busier than I thought. I've studied much harder and longer than my last two semesters, but I'm pretty sure my GPA won't be as good. I guess my classes are just that much harder than last year, which probably shouldn't surprise me. Apart from classes though, it's been a great semester. I've gone to the rec center and worked out more, and feel like I'm blessed with many great friends.
Finals week starts tomorrow, so I can't write much, but I wanted to at least update this site once before this semester ended. Hopefully next semester won't be quite as busy, and I'll have more time to put some thoughts on here. I've found a new book to read through, called "The Cost of Discipleship", so that should provide some food for thought. Maybe I'll have time to write some stuff on here about what I think of it.
Well, that's all for now, but hopefully new posts from me will start appearing much more regularly.

"What makes America the indispensable power...is precisely what makes anti-Americanism inevitable.

Very, very interesting post about America and anti-Americanism. Definitely worth a thoughtful read.

Introduction

I've always kinda thought of myself as the last person that would ever want to get a blog. I almost never read blogs, and I've always said that the only people that have lives that are interesting enough to make good blogs are always out doing cool stuff instead of blogging. However, I've come to realize that maybe the value of blogs/journals isn't in how many people read them, but in the process of putting your thoughts into words. That is my plan for this blog. I don't expect, or even hope, that many people will read it, but I'm pretty sure that I will benefit from the extra thinking I will do as I write these. And who knows, maybe I'll never really have enough time for this? We'll see.

For starters, I would like to write about my daily Bible reading. I've been trying to read my Bible every day for many years now, and it's very difficult for me to stay consistent. I have also realized that I get much more out of it if I journal about my thoughts after I read it. Hopefully posting on here will help me in both regards.

I am also guessing that I will probably post about random thoughts I have. Maybe I'll write about books I read, movies I watch, things I see on the news, my college studies, or my work experience. Whatever happens, at least I'll have a place to come and write down my thoughts if I so desire.
