Gut: I am about to complain about life and somehow relate it to the purpose of this blog (aka: state a few things you probably already know/won't find interesting/or don't agree with).

Spill: I do not like to write. I hate it. This blog is writing. OH WELL. Anyway, I do not mind reading, so I guess The Shadow of the Galilean will be what I blog about the most--but not today. Today, I am going to complain about writing. I am not excited about a 6 page research paper. I wouldn't mind reading one, but I do not want to write one. After saying that, I will do it anyway (I mean, I want to pass or actually more than just pass). I am going to stay positive about writing as best I can, even though it is so disagreeable to me. Of course this is just my opinion concerning writing, papers, etc., some people like it (English majors?). We are studying (or will be) four different books written about Jesus and events surrounding his life. Anyway, I have been raised to believe these 4 texts and the entire Bible were written by people because they were divinely inspired to do so by God. I'm not sure how one would prove this divine inspiration, but what would faith be without a little faith? However, we don't really know (have hard evidence) that they didn't just write them because they wanted to.  It's not possible for me to write something just because I want to, but if I had a little divine inspiration....who knows!
