Where's my decoder ring?

There comes a point when it is just cheaper to buy a new computer rather than investing in bandages for the old....I don't know where it is, but I'm not that far from hitting it.

Now that my laptop has a new hard-drive and I got a new wireless card and I'm looking for new batteries and a new power cord.....I mean, I can get online now.

Isn't that great?

It's the start of semester 2 here at UVM. I'm not back "on campus" yet, I've got 3% left on my funding before I get to go back, but it is good just to be back in Vermont. Vermont certainly is beautiful this time of year, all that snow.

I've been thinking about a lot of things recently (another distraction to actually posting anything). What I really need to do is write more things down. I've got so many different lines running through my head that I frequently forget what I was thinking on any one of them and have to start over. And once I've thought something through I manage to forget what I concluded.

How's that for rambling and jumbled?

One of the things I have been noticing a lot, especially in my Bible study, is how many words I use without knowing what they mean. Words that are common, particularly in Christian conversation, that I use all the time...like grace, and glory, or even talking about the Spirit. I mean I understand the context and the general definitions, but I've been chewing over their full meanings...
