Death by motivation

Odd title I know, but the past few days or so I find myself working on so many projects again. Spring and warmth are helping me get back into the flow of doing things, lots of things. In one sense I think I could work myself to death with projects when the motivation exists and in contrast I think I could fall into a coma and pass away when the motivation leaves. So that kind of explains the title...not that you asked.

So these days I am working on a website called "Our Responsa-biblicaly" which has been a dead link on the "Links" menu right now. It's one of the ideas I had long ago which never happened, but I didn't forget about. The site is almost finished so the link will be active soon. Part of me hopes it takes off but if it doesn't that's ok, maybe it isn't meant to. I figure that's the best additude I can have with the ideas on this list. I'll try hard but if it produces nothing so be it. So in a few weeks I should have something to write about with that project.

What else is going on...Hmmm. Oh yea, I'm back to learning sign language again. Just basic sentences. Usefull stuff. I don't know why I keep getting drawn to this language. You'd think an actual language like German or Spanish or something would be of more importance to me. I don't even have a place to use it since I don't know anyone who uses it. Whatever, it's a hobby then I guess. Speaking of things that I want to learn but often lose track of, my acoustic guitar. I am getting a strong craving to attack that head on again. It would be nice to learn at least one full song at some point, but my fingertips can't seem to take the beating from the fretboard.

Ok, is there anything else at the moment to write about as far as small updates and such. I was thinking about assembling a single group from the two small groups that comprise our bible studies to go out once or twice a month to do community service type activities. I haven't asked anyone yet, I figure over the course of the coming weeks when I actually see them I will bring it up. At the moment the thought of organizing such a group makes my stomach turn a little, nerves. I was never much for making phone calls, especially to people I don't know. Bleh! However, I have a list of places to call and go to do things as a group so if we can muster a half dozen people on a Saturday afternoon I'll have to bite the bullet. The idea of a bible study group is a great thing and I love having them, but I always wanted the same amount and variety of community activity groups. Christians (and non-Christians) grouping together to make a small difference. Even if the groups fail to make a noticable difference to the world with the acts they perform it would serve to teach people how to step outside of their lives of safety and self-indulgance. Teaching people how to take action and how to help each other out. Eventually, if such groups were as available and active as bible studies are, their would be a noticeable difference in the areas they operate. Communities could be changed for the better. Opening a flood gate of compassion and value for good deeds...or maybe I'm day-dreaming again. I'd like to find out one day.

So...that's it for now. (^_^)
