compulsive compartmentalization

Captured thoughts…on exhibit in the zoo that is the blog-o-sphere.

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton

I’m leading a class at church. Today while working I suddenly started feeling very inadequate in doing so. Exactly what qualifies me to do so? I like to think ideas stand or fall based on their merit and not necessarily who presents them. This is what I tell myself anyway.

After a few hours I was well into a funk of self-doubt, long after I had forgotten what caused it. Inertia…hooray!

At Barnes and Noble tonight I was perusing through Dedrick Bonhoeffer and Watchman Nee, which once again made me feel very inconsequential.

I did, however, get the complete Sherlock Holmes for cheap. And read a little of The Art of War. Just in case. (You never know which terrorist scenario will make these things come in handy.)

I came home and watched Dr. No, since Sarah spent some of her Christmas money to finish our collection of James Bond movies.

Such is the first Friday in 2009.

  1. I haven’t read any Sherlock Holmes (unless it was so long ago that I’ve forgotten). I should drive to B&N…

  2. I’ve gotten into it over the last year. They’re a fun light read.
