found an idea to study out

But, I really don't have the time right now. I am sure a time will come a force my nose into books cause I will need to know. 

So, the apostle Paul knew that there would be a falling away, ok. Then, I wonder why the apostle John would ask to stay until Christ returns to preach the Gospel. I only mildly wonder about things I heard taught before.  Time to study it all out on my own. And I need to understand the dynamics a bit better, if John asked to stay on earth until a second coming then he knew that Jesus would die, maybe he had already died at the point, but what purpose would he have for wanting to stay alive to bring more souls if Jesus was going away himself. I suspect I will find that it has to do with why he is called beloved, and writes so much about love. I guess he understands so much and is overflowing with love. But, my mind questions if all of this love is for the gospel plan and not merely Jesus cause he did not ask to stay with Jesus and help him, when I am supposing that he could trust that whatever Jesus would be returning from would be the best thing to do....lots of questions here. And why does he ask privately? Is that really what he asked or is this just a paraphrase that I had just always assumed...again, many questions of which I really need to read and study.

LOTR stuff

I think that the reason I suffer from ADHD symptoms like needing new stimuli is because what I am doing is so boring. It is like eating tons of staw when you're a starving goat, so that you are full when someone arrives to feed you hay, and you end up starving to death.

So, a spot was barren in my brain, so I started assigning races to nationalities, consciously,  cause I actually already had without thinking about it, so I was sort of just mentally saying it out loud in public (though no lips were used) I suppose other terminology would have referred to what I was doing was airing out my thoughts. So, I was listening to music and crocheting a Christmas afghan. 

Here is what I assigned:
Elf - Scandinavians
Dwarfs - Scottish and Welsh 
Hobbits - English
Rohanians - German
Gandorian - French (southern) or Itallians (thinking of Celts and Romans)
But, maybe the Roman's should go with the Greek as the wizards...then again, maybe druids ought to be called wizards..... just thinking this stuff on the fly not any focus assigned to it or anything.
