Reading Day (May 14, 2015), or what I’ve taken to calling “Special Event Day.”
I’m in that lull between when classes end and finals are administered. This morning I finished grading the last assignment from my BTS-T class and did some tidying up of my records for that class. I should do the same for AmCon before that final on Saturday.
But . . . the truth is that my attention, ever so slowly, is beginning to slip away into the future . . . to my sabbatical. I’ve got more projects on the horizon than I should and have begun making piles of books, lists of citations, and even the odd note about ideas. And today I’m toying with the idea of having a sabbatical blog. In part I’m inspired by John Fea’s posts on his history of the American Bible Society research. And, I’m also a bit worried that I’m going to be wandering around without clear orientation with the result that I waste many hours and days. Perhaps the discipline of making a blog entry would both motivate me and provide a record of my efforts, even on the days when those do not come to much.
