Ah yes... podcasts

Its been forever since I've written, I know. Life is busy. It seems I take a breath, close my eyes, and wake up a month later. Halloween still feels like yesterday and we're already a mere 2 weeks from Christmas. Incredible how things can change, and yet still stay very much the same.

Perhaps one of the biggest "discoveries" of recent is that I stumbled onto podcasts. I know. I'm a troglodyte to have - just - figured them out. In all fairness, I should clarify. I've followed newHope church via podcast for a while. Usually I can attend service on Sunday, but I also am required to drill some Sundays and its nice to be able to catch the message, if not in person. What I mean by "discover" is that I've realized that I spend an absurd amount of time doing chemistry that doesn't require any intelligent thought, and as such, I generally have several hours each day that I can spend listening without risking my life due to poor multi-tasking abilities. So, at present I have been catching up (and reviewing) the sermon series from newHope from Pastor Benji, listening to the sermons given by Pastor Mark Carr from True Life church, and reviewing my Spanish with Coffebreak Espanol. (Two Scottish people teaching Spanish. Like, Spanish spoken in Spain. Not "Mexican," which is apparently what I've learned...) I'm also thinking about picking up the podcast from C3 Church. I guess it depends if I can get caught up with the other two of that genre.

Anyhow, what is coming from this is a declaration of my intentions for the next few days (or weeks... maybe months, given the frequency with which I have been posting). I'm going to do a little series of posts on some of the profound things I've heard from these podcasts. I'm not sure how this will go, but I know some of these thoughts really struck a chord with me (and were written down on my fume-hood, coincidentally). So, I'm going to share them with you as time permits -- which is evidently not today.

Back to the nerdery.
