finishing

I guess I haven't posted much lately, bigger fish to fry you could say. Such as a 20 page paper, multiple exegesis, translating the end of Isaiah, things like that.
As I am trying to finish up seminary, I have found new challenges. I am not overly busy now, but I still struggle with the ability to focus enough to get my stuff done. I am not on the verge of burnout, but I do get to the point where I would like some interaction with people that aren't Christians, or on their way to being professional Christians. Many times I find myself just wishing that there was some way that someone could just beam all the information I needed into my head, but I think that would really deprive me of a large part of the journey. I think part of the preparation of seminary is that difficulty of doing on a consistent basis that which you don't really want to do, but know that will help you on down the road.
I hate memorizing vocabulary for Hebrew, but the more I memorize the easier translation gets. Odd I know. I think in some strange way, God is preparing me, and Robin as well, for part of our life when we are working in some way on a church plant, that maybe we do things in the beginning that do not pay off immediately, but we can see that down the road, God will reward our diligence. I pray that this is the case.
