Progress

the scarf?

My knitting project is getting longer... and inexplicably wider. I think I'm getting faster. It's nice to have a tangible product. I have my next class tomorrow night, so I will try to get at least another 5 rows done. It'd be awesome if I got 20 rows done! Bam, I'd show the preacher's wife. Ha. ha. ha.

My speed work out went splendidly. Yay :) I think 7:21 wasn't fast enough for the speed workouts; I ended doing 1.5 extra, adding incline and lowering the speed. I'm interested to see how the tempo workout goes on Thursday. Tomorrow I'm not going to do the 5-7 miles. I'd like to swim and/or row for an hour to get the cardio but save the pounding on my legs. We shall see.

I found my one-year bible while unpacking my books. I've been reading Joshua in tandem with Luke. Joshua's all busy slaughtering people and Jesus is besting Pharisees in battles of wit. It's an interesting juxtaposition and explains why Augustine and others were so keen on nonliteral interpretations of scripture. How are you supposed to read God ordained genocide? It makes sense to apply it in terms of rooting out sin: Ananaius and Sapphira style in the NT.

Progress is slow and tedious... a lot like knitting. But, every once in a while you catch a glimpse of change or improvement that makes it worthwhile.

And, finances are feeling more doable. I'm not sure how I'm going to accomplish them, but I now have concrete goals.
