Well, it’s offically over.  That’s right, today is the last day of my 40 days of purpose. 

Actually I finished the book yesterday, somehow I got a day ahead in the readings.  And I was being so paranoid about getting behind

I’m very pleased to have finished it.  But as in all things of this nature, it doesnt really stop here.  There are changes to be made in my life, and some very serious thinking to do.  I dont want to go back to the way I was, but already I am saying to myself – I can do that next week when I have time.   sigh.

Two changes that I will make – I am giving up reading fanfiction.  period.  It really detracts from my life.  I spend far too much time on my computer.  Primarily becuase I am reading.  Much badness.  And, I will start going to church again.  Mind you, in this area, I am being very disobedient…  I am planning to start going to church again in Jan…  not now.  Excuses aren’t good enough.  I know I am sinning.  God have mercy on me.

But anyway.  Something other than the deep and spiritual.  Last week I brought 3 manga, so very exciting!  Esp the new ruroken – finally got to meet Misao  very very happy.

Um, Sex and the City finally finished.  Now just one more ep of Friends and I have no more ‘must see tv’  which will be nice.  I’d love to try and have a week with no tv, internet or playstation.  But because of assignments, that isnt going to happen for at least a month.

Started reading a new book yesterday – Japan It’s history and culture.  So far its facinating.  Unfortunately I cant find it in the search feature, so you’ll just have to live without the cover.

Oh, mail, brb….  All right, the ruroken dvd just arrived at the library, yoshi!

NEway, back on to topic….  Japanese history.  I’ve only read the first two chapters, but the thing that strikes me is that recorded Japanese history begins around 500AD.  That’s not a daunting as I used to think.  Sure Japan has a much longer history than australia, but I thought it would be more that that.  Yes, there were ppl before that, the ppl of Yamato (hehe matt) and even earlier the Wa, but civilization in Japan only started to develop around then.  And then Buddism was introduced.  So I think chrisitanity in Japan has a chance (more of a chance than I used to think anyway).  It’s not a losing battle to a religion that has been in place far longer that chistianity exsisted. 

I dont know if that make much sense.  All I’ll say is that God has really put Japan on my heart receintly.

Well, my washing is almost done, and then I have to go to uni and create chaos, hehe.
