Spring is Here...for now

For a couple seconds there my latest post consisted of an unfinished title. My pinky slipped and I hit enter while typing. Smooth, I know.

I feel somewhat obligated to post the occasional update. This gets a bit complicated since things really aren't changing. I guess that may be a good thing. In an hour Star Trek: Voyager comes on so I have a bit of time to think up some interesting babble to share.

These last couple weeks I have been part of a study on Eschatology at my church. It is an interesting topic, although I don’t think that anyone can truly know what is going to happen until after the fact. For last Sunday the goal was to read the first five books of the Bible. For this week I’m attempting to read the historical books – Joshua through Esther. That’s a big chunk of Bible, but I think I can do it. One thing I find ironic so far is that it is being led by a dispensationalist who keeps using the word covenant. Hmmm…makes one think, doesn’t it? :)

I guess that another interesting bit of useless information about me and my life is that I think I can have my house paid off before I’m 40. That’s not bad for someone who will turn 30 six months from today. I guess that it doesn’t get anymore grownup than this.

After posting this and reading through it I decided that I should add a bit about the start of spring. I did mention it in my title so I guess I obligated myself to mentioning it. Spring is here. There. Now I'm done.

Thoughts

God is continually amazing me with his presence in my life. The God of the universe thinks of me without stopping and on an average day I hardly think of him at all. How backwards is that? He has infinite worth and is so vast that thinking about him nonstop from now until forever is past would hardly even scratch the surface of who he is. I am no one and a moment of thought from God is more than adequate for covering every second of my life. Yet he chooses to think of me anyway.
