a saint in training: my life on Earth
Wednesday, February 21, 2007
today is Ash Wednesday, the start of '07's season of Lent.
Topic: seasonal

...the past two days I was away doing frivolous things (akin to having a Fat Tuesday celebration by myself for twice as long) since today is the start of Lent and I had wanted to get more of Disgaea finished- I'm still at the beginning of the eighth chapter of that game and none the more enriched by putting so many hours into leveling up my characters -sigh-

Anyway, it is Lent now so I'm going to stick to my lovely Bible study, and make it a bit more structured:
-read at least one chapter of Proverbs daily
(except on Sunday in which I shall shift my focus on to the [Mass readings])

-type out the more poignant verses of my studies for further memorization and meditation
(this is in opposition to my practice of merely re-tying whole chapters- it is good for me to do that, but my mental stamina is pretty low so I should put my focus on the best portions rather than just copying and not remembering or focusing...)

-make sure to post here at least 3 times per week
(with 2 days as leeway for not posting, but I will still make sure to read even if that isn't evidenced here!)

and for now, that is about it for my Bible study Lenten practices as it relates to this blog.


-as for today's chapters, I read through 9 and 10 respectively and of these two I found the latter to be much more understandable and instructive- I love the words of Solomon very much, for it is a shame that wisdom of the sort that he possessed isn't prevalent today... because there's so much foolishness everywhere it makes my heart and mind a bit melancholy as I read his wonderful words and admonishions

er, this may sound like a cop out or that I'm trying to be lazy, but I need to really read and even re-read chapter 10 to get more of the full effect from the quotations of Solomon's sayings- I'll make sure to type them out later as well.

-so I'll be back.
