Somtimes I look back at a day and I can't remember what I actually did with all my time. As I'm writing this, I can't recall. But 'm sure it was a pretty average day that could have been an awesome day if I had paid more attention.

But most Wednesdays are like that. I mostly commit my Wednesdays to studying Greek. And it's such a beautiful language, actually.

One of my favourite memories is reading John 1:1 in Greek for the first time and figuring out what the particular words meant.

Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (NIV)

Just looking at the state my textbook is in, one could think I work really hard and should be able to read the Greek New Testament fluently by now.



But I'm not. Laziness gets in the way.

Nevertheless, I keep trying. It's worth it. :)
