nothing quite emulates a yo-yo like a heart. which is why they are not to be trusted…but can they be ignored?
i suppose the day was productive, and if Productive->Good, then it was a good day as well. all i did was work on greek, interspersed with various, random activities. one of the more interesting activities was practicing a long climbing route in the room. you see, most climbing ropes aren’t longer than, say, 150 feet or so. this means that if you want to attempt a climb which is longer than that, you have to use the leap-frog technique–climber x belays climber y, to an anchor near the point where the rope will no longer reach. he secures the anchor, then belays climber y as he comes up to climber x (this is done by use of a few simple knots and an extra carabiner). once climber y reaches the anchor, climber x continues to belay as climber y reaches the next bombproof anchoring point. then climber y locks off, and sets up a belay from his position. repeat until both parties reach the top. you might wonder how dan and i practiced this in our room. it was with his bed.
serena came over to have me change her strings today, but i ended up breaking her bridge pins instead (well, 2 of them). i felt really bad–however, they would have broken anyway, whenever she tried to change her strings, whether i did it or not. still, she does have a performance on wednesday, and now she has to go out and find bridge pins. sigh.
spent some time hanging with the draw group for an hour and a half tonight…a bit of quality time never hurt a draw group. we talked about lots of stuff, but ended with a moderately warm discussion on the philosophical implications of certain passages in ephesians and elsewhere.
sadly, all the work and whatnot did cramp my style a little bit–i didn’t get to do a number of things that i wanted to today. i wanted to call emily, to work on some songs, to finish the greek campaign in empire earth, to go running, to work out, to read my logic, and to clean my room. none of which happened. oh well, maybe i’ll have time soon. time–too often kairos and not chronos. i feel it running through my fingers much too quickly. come back!
i guess i’m feeling a bit sad at the moment. don’t know why. i sat in the shower forever, zombie-faced, and every thing i thought about made my heart heavier than the last. not the best way to end the day, but maybe it’s a sign that the day should be ended. no sense in digging up too much worry and strife for myself when tomorrow will call it up again on its own.
why is it so hard to be what i am created to be? if my purpose is to glorify god, why don’t i? i run after so many things.
be glorified, father.
