My 40th birthday came and went this week. No biggie. The mood I am in has nothing to do with it, as far as I can tell. Rather it is Asbury that, along with the torrent of usual bills, leaves me feeling meaningless tonight.
We mentioned Hume's fact value problem today in philosophy. There is a logical gap between facts and the significance of those facts (values). So I can tell you things that have happened to me this week. I have taught a mess of classes. I have posted a lot of stuff relative to Asbury seminary's situation. I have talked to the VP of Asbury's board and blah, blah, blah. I am still working on a couple books. I have parents visiting, two step daughters, a son with a sore throat and a daughter full of wishes. I agreed to write a chapter for a book in the next two weeks. Lots more. Facts, facts, facts.
What do any of them mean? What is their significance? What is my significance?
I feel empty tonight. What are the consequences of any of my actions?
Ubi mihi pax est?
