Whoops, Early Summer Passed

Well, it has been a bit since my last post. I took my Exit OSCE and Step 2 CS exams, but will not know whether I passed either for awhile. So that's a comfort at least. Oh, and I aged again. I should write out reflections from the past year... I also launched a fake medical podcast this week. That has been both exciting and occupying. I have burned out on studying even though the pressure is very much on since I only have about two months until the career-defining exam. I should probably delay it by a week. Admittedly, I am way behind on studying. I am trying to take it more easy tonight so I can study again tomorrow, but it has been pretty bad.

I am so excited about the podcast though. My friends are so funny in it and I play it professional. Best of all though, it just turned out so good. Because there are four of us on the team, we all contribute our different parts, and it really makes the finished product really incredible. I think it will be big.

Do any other young Christians struggle with having a libido? No one else? Cool, cool. Anyway, I know a relationship is impractical right now. But that physiologic desire remains, to the extent that it often feels physically uncomfortable to avoid doing anything about it. That of course leads one to spiritual, emotional, and other types of compromise.

Also, what about this passage? Seems like Jesus' reply kinda sucks when the disciples call him out on the impracticality of it.

Matthew 19:9-12I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
