this is a calm post, and as opportunities for pointless procrastination will be few and far between for the next few days, the beginning of a short break.
the @!#&=^ CFA exam is over, thank God. came out of it with my sanity intact, and no longer too sure on whether i want to continue with a program that is growing in irrelevance to a very relevant field.
plenty of things for thanksgiving, so this will be a post for thanksgiving.
"Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ?"
the cup of wrath and suffering has become a cup of thanksgiving. though life has sucked, there's still plenty to be thankful for, though we shouldn't get too carried away, for we are still in the stage of suffering and bearing burdens before our final redemption.
for scripture and a love of Scripture, which is the consort of Reason through informed Faith.
for whispers of comfort in the dark silence. for good music. for sleep. for good books. for friends who come out of the woodwork.
and most of all (and the biggest lesson) - thanksgiving in adversity.
as the year winds down, i hope to hear from all of you (by voice or live) soon!
