  • I don't think that will decrease my brother's self-satisfaction, unfortunately. He also insists that "librarian" is not a real job.
    Sadly, at this point I think my 18-year-old brother knows more about my taxes than I do....
    I noticed you are a teacher, Miss Freckles... I hope the new semester goes smoothly for you, that your students are responsive, and that your load is "tolerable."
    P.S. if you want to contribute a title+author for our Narnian bookshelf, here is the link.
    Yep. All done. I have never studied that much for a test in my life--and the scary thing is, all the study seems to have been necessary. But anyway, I am FREE! So now I'm busy prepping for my brother's aesthetics/art history class, because apparently that is what freedom looks like. :p
    Oh, I just realized that I forgot to answer this....

    I think He Is There and He Is Not Silent is the book of his that my philosophy prof wanted us to read, although I got it in a set of three and read the others as well. If I recall correctly, I agreed with more of his arguments in that book than in some of his others.
    I've read three of his books and disagree with some of his views on philosophy: blaming Thomas Aquinas for separating nature and grace and thereby making way for the Enlightenment seems like an enormous exaggeration. There were plenty of philosophers during that time period more guilty of presaging modernism than Aquinas. Why not blame everything on William of Ockham, the Franciscan who stole some horses and ran away? :p

    I think Schaeffer's greater contribution was his ability to communicate with both Christians and non-Christians, encouraging them to ask serious questions about truth. He helped people from both groups realize that Christianity didn't have to be intellectually lightweight. In my book, his most important impact was achieved more on a personal than a theoretical level.

    He was also willing to treat waste and pollution of the environment as a serious theological issue before doing that became cool. He wrote a book on the topic; I haven't read it yet, but I'd like to.
    Hi Miss Freckles,
    I like your little dragon profile picture :)
    Thought I'd invite you to the Riddles contest in Cair Paravel.
    Ha, I took two years of Spanish in high school and have forgotten most of it. Could have taken French but didn't think it was as practical. (Idiot.) When I was getting my undergraduate degree I studied social studies education, which didn't have a language requirement (and required too many other things for there to be room). My advisor tried to get permission for us to substitute a language for social studies electives, but the dean wouldn't go along with the idea. So...yes. The stereotypes of American being ignorant of foreign languages are well-founded.
    7.77 is an overly repetitive number. The computer doesn't like it, and Autocorrect keeps changing it to 7.89. Sorry.

    Since when does Dumas use words like "cute"? He's much more melodramatic than that.
    Leave my post count alone. Your harassment has caused it to suffer from a cute paranoia, and I've had to pay for it to see a therapist. This has cost me 7.44 strawberries. I am very upset.
    I was thinking about the fruit you hate that starts with "A"... which I used to torment you with. *waldo*

    I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY!!!! >.< Work has been crazy, but good. I just came back on because I heard about DeplorableWord, and it make me reminiscent.:( She was so nice.... So it was unfortunate circumstances that made me come back, but I couldn't stay away from posting in dufferdom.

    How are you?
