More essays, more stress, more coffee, more chocolate

After faffing about for over two weeks on an essay and getting nowhere, a change of essay question means it is now doable. The books (thankfully nice and thin) are sitting in two piles: the have-read pile is still small, but growing.

This is a race against time: parents arrive tomorrow evening. I should perhaps add another 'more' to the list in the title: more prayer. I have come to see essays as a combination of learning things I need to learn and God teaching the tools I need to cope with the demands of future ministry.

How do you think of essays? (Jack, please rant if it would help). Virtual chocolate available in the comments.
