I'm just browsing through and updating a few articles.

Recently I have regained a love of video games starting with Final Fantasy XIII and even more recently a love of reading with Brent Weeks book Way of Shadows.  It has been difficult to regain such enjoyments and I am quite happy to have found what I had lost.

The enjoyment that I get with video games is that video games often tell a story in a very interactive way.  It also helps to bring life to a story in a very new way.  It helps me to think strategically and methodically.  Books are a way for me to escape and to help develop critical thinking skills and to develop creativity.  More importantly it is a way for me to grow and mature and for that I am very thankful to have regained my love of reading and video games.

I still want to discover or rediscover two more joys.  The joy of learning and reading theology.

With all of these hobbies mentioned it is important to explore them with skill.  To explore everything that there is in the way of books, for example, does not allow me to develop as a reader or as a gamer or as a learner or as a Christian.  As I progress in these areas it is important to continually challenge myself, while also occasionally returning to some foundational works as a way of rediscovering where I have been so as to see it in a new light and to see where I have been as a way to see where I am going as a way to be sure that I am on the right path and to make any corrections that may need to be made; some of which may be painful.

As I study over these next three months I will be sure to not neglect the reading, video games, or Bible study, remembering that each have their time and place and can all be enjoyed during the day.
