Upon deeper reflection...

Upon deeper reflection, it has come to my attention that an essay on the canonization of the New Testament and the authority given to those "scriptures" by the Apostolic Fathers may, in fact, be impossible to research and write in the time frame of about 24-hours.

Furthermore, this is a topic that may not be contained in the space of about 2000 words.

Of course, little miss perfectionism has to choose the most controversial and contradictory topic in Christian history for her term paper. (Her darker side, little miss procrastination, has also left it to the very last minute. Of course.)

Oh well. Everyone and their mother has migrated from Waterloo for Easter and I'm all alone. My family has left the country.

This is most likely what actually has to happen before I can concentrate long enough to write this paper. However, it turns out...I'm having fun.

Hey Maria,

So how's the paper going? I think I wrote a paper on the same topic back in my Bible College days...around 1998. I could dig it up for you if you'd like! ;) (Wow I'm old)

Good luck with it! ~Sarah
