Study and the such

2 days of me being on here, some one must be riding an emotional high of others possibly checking out my thoughts. Yeah, I am willing to talk about myself in that manner. I am also on here because I actually have something that I am thinking about. One of the things that I mentioned that I wanted to talk about on here is the study that I am doing and what I am learning from it.

I got a Driscoll book recently entitled "New Testament: A Book that you will actually Read". It is really short and doesn't really give a whole lot of in depth analysis but there was one part that I found very interesting. At the end of the book, Driscoll talks about building your own Theological Library. He gives his suggestions for books and the such that he has found helpful and informative. I like the insight that this gives me and I might try and check out a couple of these books at some point as well. But the real sort of mind-blowing portion is that Driscoll says that he urges people to spend an average of 6 months when studying a book of the bible. If you work it out, that would mean if you averaged 6 months (some longer some shorter) to study a book, it would take you 33 years to get throught the whole bible. That is dedication. So, I am going to start with a short book and devote a couple months or until I think that I have wringed all I can out of it at this point in my life. That is how I feel God is leading me to study right now. That might change later, but I think its a decent idea.

On to other things, I am currently getting ready to say good-bye to another baseball season. Yes, the post-season will start in October, but for my team, we only have 6 games. It has been a year of greater than expectations, even by us fans, but still a little tough to take it that the Cubs won the division for 2 straight years. I know that as one who is supposed to live in the love of Christ that I shouldn't hate anything really, but I really think that God hates the Cubs as well. I say that with all the humor and sarcasm that I can muster with written words. Oh well, here's to hoping that the Cubs continue to do their normal post-season flop and I get to watch it. Is it so wrong to enjoy the defeat of your rival team? I think not.

The new television season has kicked off. I have a lot of shows that are normal watches for me. One of them started back up last week, Smallville. I loved the show for about 5 years. I have to say that the last couple years have seemed so much weaker than before. I still watch, but more out of loyalty than desire. I am sure that I could make some illusion to our Christian walk and someday I will break that off without even thinking, but today its not coming to me. Mainly I am just wanting it to end, Smallville not my walk.

I think that rambling about Smallville and baseball pretty much signal the end to another blog. Let's see what comes out next time.
