The study brain conflict

I was just noticing that I choose trebuchet as my font, and it is an implement of war--sort of like a catapult or the mechanical force military unit that is used to break down the walls of a castle.

In any rate, I am finding my final grad paper/thesis quite a challenge. It is testing my brain, my personal convictions, as well as deciding on a thesis--all dealing with topics that I have no real background knowledge in. I must master Gilgamesh, the Enum Elish, Babylonian/Mesopotamian cult rituals, and compare/contrast them to the Sacred History as recorded in the Old Testament. I have books, I have journal articles from the U of O library and from Google Scholar. I have two used bookstores to visit, and I am slowly building a bibliography and complementing text.

Remember me in thought and prayer. I know the final product will be at least good, but getting there will be a challenge--probably a needed one...but still.
Thanks for hearing me rant a little. I look forward to your comments--on anything, not just me.
