Not a whole lot. Looking back on 2010 is rather depressing. It seems like I hardly did anything. I did read through the OT which was great, got my Greek vocab back after almost losing it, and read some stuff but spent a lot of time being stressed out about stuff, recovering from surgery etc. I suppose this is part of life and part of growing spiritually, even if I went backwards for a good part of the year.
I still have the problem with needing to sleep a ton. I suppose if chronic fatigue doesn’t get better that’s just how it is except for the short cycles where I don’t need to. I sure switched from insomnia to hypersomnia pretty quickly.
The last two weeks have been better regarding reading already even though I crashed after the holidays in multiple ways.
I’m still working on spending less time on the internet and that’s been improving except for when I’m stressed. Then I just want to mess with people on their blogs and on FB.
My second honeymoon with photography has calmed down which is good. I’m not spending too much time with it or obsessing on it. It’s just something I can enjoy do when I feel up to it which is good. I can leave something on the memory card without having to process and perfect iit right away.
I couldn’t roast coffee the last two weeks and my wife will be out so I’ll be buying coffee for the first time in over five years! But it’s from my good friend who also roasts coffee.
I’m looking forward to reading James a zillion times, finishing Proverbs commentary, reading commentaries on last 3 OT books, Genesis (possibly), Psalms with a companion book and about four other books on the OT. How great the whole Bible is!
God’s been helping me accept where He has me with all of these problems but I still have a long ways to go and still need to learn to suffer better. I thought I had it down pretty good until the hospital. I’ve got two books on suffering coming and want to get J.E. Tada’s latest. Broken Things is OK but the accusatory tone is annoying. How does the author know I’m not doing something? I’m suffering but I do have strengths. And don’t call me friend when you don’t know me.
My wife has been so great. When I was down I kept thinking of her dying. I get into a dark mood and can’t get those thoughts out. God has done so much and she’s been obedient to Him.
Thought I’d write here and come back later in the year.
