You see a picture of some people from our church and I playing Risk. It was taken on a recent church retreat. I am in the midst of a time when I feel like I am just playing games. I want to think I can be a serious student but am haunted by the thought that despite all hard work I put in to getting my Master's I am fooling noone into thinking I know anything. I am just playing games. Just fooling myself. I have already done my first weeks readings and am about to begin my first paper. I haven't even talked to the professor yet about details ( though I do have the first assignment). I guess I hope to impress with diligence and hard work. Not bad things but they can be a cover for original ideas and thoughts. God give me the confidence I need to understand and present my own ideas to others in the class effectively.
Leanne has had someone want to buy her hand made cards. She is thrilled.

Hey Cliff
Thinking that we are "fooling ourselves" is just part of the stretching process. When we move out of our comfort zones, we are supposted to feel uncomfortable.
As far as original ideas goes, "Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration". Just start somewhere, you don't have to start perfectly.
Thanks Wally
there is nothing new under the sun, so just enjoy yourself, explore and learn what you can. Isn't that a gift of God?
