Laziness is delicious. There have been so many posts that I intended to write, thinking, "This is hilarious!" or "This is profound!". I am happy to report that, whatever it is I had to say, it was most likely neither of these things, since I now have the blankest of memories of what it was I even wanted to write.
But I digress. After all these weeks of laziness, I finally decided to come back to this blog....
And the first thing I see is a page saying that Jesus loves my soul, with a picture of Christmas lights.
What??
I was momentarily dazed, wondering if, perhaps, my blog page could have started using advertisements (which I never approved) and a randomly different layout (which was different than the layout I chose for this latest iteration of my blog). I also wondered why I would ever offer poems of peoples' lives (who writes these things???) and why I would offer tracts (kudos whoever can tell me what tracts are).
Finally, the answered dawned upon me: This was not my page. Perhaps it's a sign of mid-quarter burn-out, but this was actually a momentous realization. I don't know if this means that the URL for this blog has been bought out by some Christian mega-company, or if my blog isn't at the URL that I thought it was, but either way, there's some "mega-site of Bible studies" (their words, not mine) at hyperboleandaquarter.blogspot.com.
I'm always relieved when my moments of bewilderment like this are easily resolved, such as in cases like these. There are some questions that I know I will never have answered: What happened to all of my left socks? Why do things in my apartment suddenly fall when they were perfectly stable before? Why is it that items in my room always creepily shift right after I've turned off my lights, when I'm just beginning to fall asleep? There are no good answers for these questions, and they haunt my soul. This situation, however, has been resolved. It feels to have my questions answered sometimes.
Well, all of my questions except one:
Why would a Bible studies website want to be on a website called "Hyperbole and a Quarter"? I feel like it implies something negative about the faith, but perhaps I'm wrong. Don't misunderstand, I have nothing against Christianity; but am I the only one who feels like calling a Bible study "Hyperbole and a Quarter" implies that the Bible, or this particular study, is wrought with exaggeration?
I guess this is just another question I'll have to add to my bank of "Questions I'll never have the answer to".
