ashes, ashes, we all fall down..
@Timmo: I didn't mean anything mentioning you, just that you happened to popped up in my mind. Knowledge is the gift, but the desire of it is not. You ask me to share, but not many people are interested in theology or apologetics. In fact most that I've encountered don't care much. I'm tired of being treated with the same old "same old". It's not just about "loving God"; to love, you must know.
I'm not saying other things are not important. Mission trips are important too. Evangelism is important. But while modern day charismatic churchs are largely focused on evangelism, the very image they display of themselves drive people away. Speaking in tongues, anyone? The act that was supposed to be an outwardly divine sign for unbelievers has become, because of the pentacoastal and subsequently charismatic movement, the laughing stock of Christendom. I'm so tired of defending them and their practices to skeptics and answer-seekers that I don't bother anymore.
That's why I'm so frustrated with myself. The quest for knowledge is a difficult one. Doing it alone is tiring and unproductive, and sometimes, truth to be told, unmotivating. I've almost completely given up my Greek just because it's so difficult to plow through all the grammar alone.
Well, shan't ramble on...
It's 9:30 am and I'm already on my second cup of coffee. Big Boss is on leave for the week, probably going holiday-ing with her kids. Probably will be a rather slack week. Heh. No complains from me.
Nothing much else is going on. I've accepted NUS Bioengineering and Business DDP. Quite against my own wishes and desires, I suppose. Don't have much interest to speak of for Business; I only chose it because it was either that or Economics. Well my Dad will never let me off if I rejected it after being offered. And he keeps wanting me to start school in April. After serving the Nation for 2 miserable years, I think I deserve the 8 months of rest. We'll see how things go.
Hmm...
That's all.
Oh, welcome to my blog, moonstar! =)
