The dangers of blogging...

Thoughts I'm thinking:

I hate that I'm so forgetful. Sometimes it seems as though there is some serious short-circuit in my grey matter. For example...

Yesterday I was so excited to sleep in, start this blog, etc. Having a leisurely Saturday morning and all. Until. Until my wife got out of bed and asked where the cinnamon rolls were. What cinnamon rolls, you ask? Funny enough, so did I. She somewhat frustratedly said, "The cinnamon rolls you promised you were going to make for breakfast." Seems that I had, indeed, promised to make cinnamon rolls. I had promised this just the night before. However, by the time that Saturday morning arrived, no recollection. She might as well have asked me how to write a geometry proof, it was gone. Forgotten...

Why do I do this? It bothers me, bothers others. How do I go about remembering? Short of wallpapering my home with Post-It notes, I'm at a loss. The really ironic thing is that I rarely forget stuff like what time the Yankees are playing and such. Hmm...what does this say about me?

Books I'm reading:

I recently finished "Seeing God" by Gerald McDermott and found it very fascinating. I don't usually underline much, but this book looks like it got into a serious highlighter duel. He discusses, based on Jonathan Edwards' "Religious Affections" true and false signs of faith. These ar not intended to be used on others, like some sort of religious radar, but rather on the individual. Great stuff and well worth the read for anyone sorting through the proliferation of "religiosity" in the world and wondering about the state of their own faith.
