To write or not to write...

Blogs are the modern day diary.  In them we express thoughts, feelings, and daily dribble to keep a record of our journeys.  This one was started with the hope of having something to remember my days through seminary with.  The temptation is not to go too deep or completely express what's going on for fear that someone might read and misinterpret your intent or possibly make some judgments about your emotions and/or feelings.  I've never actually had others read my journals before and there are some great risks in that.  So at this point in time I'm not feeling very risky with my emotions a bit out of wack after an exhausting day that has miles to go before I sleep.  Let's just say, for memories sake, that this day proved to be disheartening in a way I've not felt since my arrival.  A day where dark clouds seemed to appear around every corner and no matter how hard I tried to push them away they followed me...perhaps it was due to a rather poor showing after hours of study on a Greek Mid-term, or the long work hours today in the Refectory, or riding to chapel in the rain only to discover they'd move the service time back an half hour...I know I'll survive...and it's just one day...and yet when days like this surface they can suck the life right out of you...wish me well...I've got to get back on my bike and ride in the rain to chapel again...and perhaps...just perhaps...God will meet me there.
