I don't feel like doing this anymore

I don't know if it'll come back or not, nothing excites me anymore about any of this. What was once my passion has all but died inside of me. I'll force myself to stare at the screen and try to make sense of the Aramaic, only to find myself being distracted by a spider on the wall....or finding any excuse to walk away and do something, anything, else....hoping this burden I've placed upon myself will just disappear....maybe the server's hard drive will crash and I'll have an excuse to dump it all.

You don't need an excuse to leave this alone Paul. You don't have to do it.

Maybe there is really something else you can do at the moment.
Don't feel bad, feel good that you see you should leave it alone for a while...or maybe forever. Who knows.

Maybe God has something more important for you to do, even if you don't see why.

Don't feel bad...:-)

If this work needs to be done one day, God can take care of that. <!-- sSmile --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><!-- sSmile -->

Maybe even God is quite relaxed about it all anyway.

Great that you realise this........again don't feel bad and don't grind away if it is not right at the moment...or even ever.

All the best....Michael from downunder.
