This was a pretty solid book. It had a little bit of the trappings of pop-christianity, but at the root was a solid message: How would your priorities change if you knew that you had only 30 days to live?

I think there is a popular thought that goes something like: "Yes, God is just. However, He is only just because He offers us Grace."
We need to be aware that God is just and He would be just even if He were not gracious. I thank God that He is ...

Pretty good book. It gets a little racy at times.
I read a brand new copy of this book that is also 28 years old. My roommate found it in his bookstore and it has been there since the publisher sent it to them in 1980.

The greatness of Plato's Symposium is to the greatness of this book as the sphere of the Earth is to the sphere of the fixed stars.
The four loves are: Affection, Friendship, Eros, and Charity (Storge, Philos, Eros, and Agape).
I especially connected with Lewis' redemption of Eros.
The sternest feminist ...

Great Song, Great Lyrics:
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting ...

an Eternal Golden Braid
by Douglas Hofstadter
This is a pretty good book. It does a great job of "continuing" from where my St. John's liberal education left off into the 20th century. The author's style is well-suited for introducing extremely complicated ideas in the most copacetic way possible.
However, what the book ...

or Ration vs. Emotion
I have lived a very sheltered life, I haven't experienced much tragedy. Just remember that, because I want to keep this in the proper perspective.
Rejection is really rough.
My reason and my emotion generally get along pretty well. Sometimes my emotions decide to rebel against their rational ...

I don't recommend doing pushups on carpet just after putting on lip balm.

I really like onions. They are easy to cut up and add to just about anything that is savory...
Sometimes though, I struggle with using up the onions I buy. I like having onions around if I want to use them, but sometimes I'll just go a while without cooking something ...

I have a feeling that 1 Samuel 19:20-21 and 2 Kings 1:9-12 looked very similar in the spiritual realm.
Then Saul sent messengers to take David, and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers ...

Excellent book. I especially like the second part and the aspect of community that it points out. The motley crew of pilgrims all traveling down the road to the King's Dominion is very encouraging and insightful.

The Associated Press: Senators call for EPA to reconsider ethanol output mandate
Ethanol sounds like a bad idea all around. Especially with the 6 units of energy to produce 1 unit of energy from ethanol.

Got this orchid for $10 at Kroger on a big clearance sale. It had 4 blooms. Now it is up to 15 (that one right in the middle has opened up).
That's my avocado tree there in the background. I'm not really sure what my plan with that is. It probably ...
