So I'm working on the "Biblical Marriage vs. Marriage in the Bible" posts, starting with putting in the gobs of missing hyperlinks from the posts I've already done, followed by finishing the next installment in the series. And it's amazingly hard to do! The distraction factor is high (hello, livejournal) and event though I need the internet for the links, I kinda despise it because I keep wanting to do anything else. There are so many k-dramas I could be watching, fic I could be catching up on, and of course the current novel I'm reading.

I had this same issue when I was working on the responses to lieueitak and others on our HP board regarding homosexuality and the Bible. The crazy thing is, I like to study. Once I get into it, I'm up for hours with my notebook or laptop, Bibles and online commentaries pulling stuff together, finding out things I'd not known or re-learning stuff I had forgotten.

But getting started! Ugh! What a pain. We carry on, however. Have to. Yesterday, after a particularly wasteful morning (like repentably, oh God I'm sorry I was a waste of space) I listened to a podcast by Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church, in which he stressed the need to to feel the urgency of reaching out to the world in anticipation of Jesus' return. He asked whether there's be anything you (the audience/congregation) would feel guilty about not having done or pursued or finished if Jesus came back to day. Well this is one of mine. There have been some things I've been faithful to through hard times, in spite of wanting to walk away, and sometimes looking for an excuse to do so, and I did it until the end. And there's stuff like this that I feel called to but I allow to languish by the wayside.

That's not cool. And that's why I'm going back to work. Because I have no officially written more about not being able to write, and found more links to back that up, than I've written or worked on.

Saaaaaad sad sadsadsad!

What do I get for slacking off and not doing my work? My internet dies without actually dying (I had a strong connection, but not one of my 3 browsers could get in touch w/anyone or anything). So what do I do? Haul tail and start working, that's what I do! And so where am I at? Either on point 13 out of 15, sub-points not included) or editing in some stuff I wasn't sure about using for point 11.

Yes, He does move in mysterious ways ;)

I am incredibly, ridiculously, behind in my modified NaNo. So what am I doing? Signing up for Yuletide. It was either that or work on the Tin Man bunny that hopped into my head last night on the way to rehearsal novel.

i stole this from lieueitak when she wasn't on to poke me about it :p

Here's the gig. Go to www.musicoutfitters.com. Type the year of your high school graduation [or first year, if still in high school] into the search function. Retrieve the Top 100 songs from that year. Strike through the songs you hate(d). Underline the songs you like(d). Bold the songs you love(d). Leave blank those you don't care about or don't remember. Annotate at will.
