Cobwebs!

I have come to really enjoy blogging! I really love hearing the opinions of other Christian brothers and sisters, and I truly enjoy when one of you finds what I've written interesting enough to add your comments! But I may have to take a break for a while or at least until I manage to sweep the cobwebs out of my brain. You see, this old lady has started work on a master's degree and the brain just doesn't soak up information like it used to. Further, I am required to take some liberal arts classes which may have made sense when I was very young, but now, from my "more mature" perspective, seem almost silly! So many things I have had to read my brain notates with, "Du-uh! If people would just read their Bibles, they'd know that!" It's in the liberal, "free-thinking" environment of a college that I realize just what crazy dance the secular world has to do to instill morality without mentioning God! From my textbook: "Ethics author Mary E. Guy defines ethics as 'that behavior which is the right thing to do, given the circumstances.' " How is a kid that's got no basis in the Creator of all things supposed to know what's right in ANY circumstance? The text plods through countless examples of what might be right or wrong in a variety of "case studies", but it's all situational. No where is there any reference to absolute truth or to scriptural guidelines that could give kids a foundation.

So, as I have to make my way through all this 'stuff' I respectfully request that you all pray for me. I just want to get through these core credits so I can move on to the ones that directly pertain to my major. I hope to be able to blog occasionally, but I think it will be sporadic at best. I will continue to read and comment when I can, and I hope sooner than later, I will be able to post something a tad more upbeat!

Blessings to all until then!!

    He reminds me constantly, SF! Thank you for the blessing and I hope your continued prayers!

    I hope you're right, Sojourner, because I'm really plodding through the material right now. I actually fell asleep reading it last night! Maybe viewing it as a mission will help. I little passion for our Lord should wake me up a bit, don't you think?
