End of the Road

Imagine driving down an old, winding trunk road, with a big truck right in front of you. You want to go faster, but you can’t. And all of a sudden, the truck grinds to a halt and you are forced to stop. You wonder how long it will be before the truck moves again. You wonder if you should turn back and take that exit you passed 5 hours ago. You feel like giving up on the entire journey to just go home.

This is how I feel about my Masters research at the moment. Dead end. Should I take another road, using another method? Or should I just give up and go home… to Penang? I don’t feel like thinking about it now. Not today. I’ll just prepare for the wrap-up on the book of Joshua for Bible study tonight and forget about it for now…
