Of course, life continues alongside my other plans. That’s the big challenge. I’m currently trying to learn Biblical Greek and Biblical Hebrew with a friend as well as Scots Gaelic on Duolingo. Chan eil thu math! as my great-grandmother who only spoke Gaelic might have said about me. (I’m not sure what a Greek or Hebrew speaker might say, nor do I know how to show those languages on this platform.)
These hobbies / personal goals co-exist with my actual responsibilities as a dad, husband, son, friend, neighbour, church leader, and employee. There is definitely not enough time in each day. Maybe the goal is simply to live with integrity, intention, and responsiveness, not beating ourselves up when we fall short of our ideals, but just to keep trying and to make sure we lean on God for help.
