Busy and burned out

I've been too tired to post lately. Between the fast I'm doing and that time of month, I'm exhausted. I will make it until Saturday

I don't bother with groups or studies like that. It's so much like school was. Why don't you just read your Bible by yourself? You don't need a group to do a study

I already read it by myself. I'm starting my third read through, and that is in addition to the study. I want to learn more, and the studies do that. The majority of the lesson is done alone.

I might sound like I'm passing judgement, but I just wasn't in the mood for any TV last night. Big Bang Theory was better than any of the other choices. That isn't the first time I've watched it. I'm perfectly aware of the distinctions between TV and real life. It's just very hard to make me laugh, and me not feeling good last night didn't help matters.

I've read it all the way through twice and got the most important lessons. I can't quote verses and chapters exactly but I know that it's in there somewhere. I haven't read it in a long time because I am happy that I have internalized it and can draw what I need depending on the situations. I do that with most books I read. It's kind of like memorizing them but not word for word. When I reread a book my mind suddenly like spews out everything in that chapter before I can finish what I'm looking at. It's pretty cool. Kinda like a minor version of a photographic memory though I'd rather have that. But lately I have been looking up some verses to get exact quotes because I have some friends doing stupid things and I need to look stuff up. One guy I removed from my LJ for shere stupidity and unChristian like behavior though he says he is one. I think he forgets

I learn something new with every read and every study. The Bible is more than just a book to me. It is God's word which means that a couple readthroughs isn't going to cut it for how important is is to me. I've internalized like you have, but that isn't good enough. I'm not doing this for my own glory, but for God's. I have prayed about this study and I think I'm supposed to be in it.

I got the dreamwidth email. I don't know if I want another blog just yet. Lately I haven't been posting enough to care when LJ crashes.

Totally off topic, I don't know why your post isn't showing up in my friends list now. It was earlier. I had to come to your journal directly. You're on all my filters so I don't know what's going on.
