Willpower...why don't we do what we want to do sometimes?
This study suggests that when we expend our willpower on one task, we might lose it in another. Common sense, but it's sometimes nice to see it in print. So if you're spending all your willpower in not eating chocolate, don't expect to have a iron will in studying for your examinations. If you're in a draining relationship that requires willpower to maintain, don't be surprised to see other goals experience a slowdown as well.
Just some thoughts as I imbibe in some early Christian history (Pliny the Younger was a punk).

Don't even get me started on Early Christian history, Russ. I should write a book called "The Jerks of Early Christian History." Included would be Marcion, Pliny, and there would be a special non-Christian footnote for Josephus. Origen is included for some things, but take special note... Origen believed in a hierarchical Trinity and what he called a "fabulous preexistence of souls." Look it up.
