Oh man, the end is in sight! Quite ironic that in two of my classes, eschatology is the last thing we study before the year is over. Technically, I'm done all my course work; there is just one final thing I need to put together and then it's done! After that, I'll probably need to start studying for my finals. Luckily, I only have three to write. Hopefully I put in the effort to get to be able to hit my expectations. Writing exams have never been my thing; I've relied on my writing strengths to get by a lot of the time.
The weather is also ballistic. It can go for a week where it looks like Spring is really here. Then suddenly there will be a snow fall dump. I think it's already happened a couple times. Judging by the weather network, it looks like the next week is all sunny. Hopefully, it stays that way. I'm also thankful that my car seems to be running pretty well. At the moment, it has clocked over 222 000km. I'm always paranoid when I get to speeds higher than 80km, because I never know if the engine will suddenly decide to blow up or something. But, I have learned to be thankful each time the car gets me somewhere. It's so much better to be driving, even with the gas prices hitting close to $1.20/L. So, unless it drops back close to the $1.00 mark, which I don't see happening, I'm going to limit myself to $30.00 each time I go to fill up. I'm poor enough as it is.
Bible study with the boys was tonight too - well, technically last night now. It's funny that whenever the topic of "failure" comes up, people are a ton more reserved about speaking up. I don't really blame them, but it's always interesting to see who is open and who isn't. Since I only help with Bible studies, there are always interesting discussions that come up. I do my best to give my answer, but I can never fully explain to the boys what they want to know. I think they ask some great questions, and it just reiterates the reason for why we live. I could just say that "this is why we live" for every answer, but they won't like it. Fact of the matter though, is that it's the truth. We live to search these answers so we can gain better knowledge of... well, everything. Although I think wanting to know is good, I always find that there is a potential danger where the desire to want to know overshadows everything else. We want to know so badly that we forget the reason for why we want to know. Eventually, we might want to know for the sake of knowing, which isn't very good. I'm still learning, and just because I'm in Bible college doesn't mean I'm a step above in any way. It just means I want to take these questions that I have, and make it a living to learn more. Sounds ironic, doesn't it?
Anyways, I think I'll take this weekend to rest up, then start studying for my three finals on Monday. Just a couple more weeks and it's time to pack up again!
