So, I am actually insanely busy... My supervisor is taking my desire to submit seriously, I'm taking my desire to submit seriously, we've re-organized my entire thesis (yes, involving substantial rewriting, of course) -- but that is in the end a good thing I think... But busy. BUSY. Broke and busy. When I sit at my computer, basically I am either staring at it or, when I'm actually typing, I need/want it to be "work-related."
That's not to say blogging will cease, just that it will continue in its irregular behavior. Between now and September I have:
A week in Rome: Paper 1 (25 minutes, needs written still; end June)
A week in Cambridge: Paper 2 (45 minutes, needs expanding/rewriting; early July)
A week away for a friend's wedding in England (early August)
Half a week away for a friend's wedding in Florida followed by some time at home - intended as an intense editing week (yippee) (end of August)
An entire 80,000wd thesis (approx. 250 pgs) to rewrite and pull together and polish to perfection.
...So, a month away for various trips and most of June spent writing/rewriting the papers -- two months down out of the four between now and September... Did I mention I'm busy? But it's all good. Seriously! This is a good life that I've chosen. =)

I am going to have that song in my head for the rest of the day! Much, much too busy...
I love you! Will continue to pray for you. srkl
Nice musical reference in your title. Not that you have time to peruse this article but you amy find it interesting: http://blog.beliefnet.com/jesuscreed/2009/05/a-brothers-wisdom-49.html#more
Hope you get done what you need to do. You go, girl.
I saw the title of your blog, and flashed back to Kevin and his dancing forks and spoons. I'd forgotten about that.
Praying for strength, grace, and great focus as you work to get everything done.
Love,

Lisa - I was absolutely picturing Kevin dancing around the den singing "Bizzy, bizzy, dreadful bizzy" when I wrote that. Frankly, every time I hear the word "busy" I'm taken to his early love for that song! =D
And Graham - Scot McKnight is a very good NT scholar, and I was thrilled when I realized last month that he had been working his way carefully through James! For me that's the sort of thing well worth taking the time to read - so thanks for flagging it for me!
Cebuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Scruffy,
that's just mean to get us started on other songs that "stick".
...anyone for a baby kangaroo? (yours is pink but mine is...)
No thanks, Mariam, I already have a water buffalo.
Hey, I actually DID post a picture of a baby kangaroo on facebook, so I want a footnote on that, M.
What an inspirational title this has been... srkl
