Ah, the end is near...

The eschatological fulfillment of the sevenfold covenantal prediction is proximate to the manually-euphemistic chronological present!

In non-technical language, "the end is near!"

The end of the semester, that is. That's right, boys and girls, I have one final left and then I'm outta here...or I would be, if not for the RA training I need to do for a while longer.

I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I just forget about this place. Laura, if you send me an email everyday, I'll try to update just as often.

What shall I discuss today? Perhaps the Scriptures again? Perhaps Church history? Perhaps you would all like to read my commentary on the philosophy of friendship in the ancient world and how it relates to and is addressed in epistolary Latin? No?

I'll tell you what I'm going to write about. Jennie is leaving in less than a week and won't be back for three months and, while I don't want her to leave, I'm not all that upset. I suppose it's a form of pride to condemn myself for my lack of due emotions, though, so I'll stay clear of that. It's not that I don't love her. You all know that I do...it's just that...I've known it was coming...and I'm now finally confident in her love for me...the thought of her leaving doesn't scare me (even though I know I'll miss her) because I know she'll be back and I know she'll be faithful.

That's just one issue, though...my spiritual thought for the day is this: God, give me a thirst for souls...let me no longer be driven to food and drink by my passions, but driven to souls for love of you! How much I wish to burn with zeal for Christ, and how little I am barely smoldering.
