It's incredible how good we can get at avoiding something we don't want to do. Take this Music 201 paper that'd due on Thursday, for example. I should be researching it right now so I can write it Monday, turn it in to the TA, and get feedback ...
"We know that the Atonement cleanses our sins," said one of our home teachers last night as we sat in a circle in our living room, "and God remembers our sins no more. How can we remember our sins no more?"
We'd talked about this in our C.S. Lewis Society ...
Yesterday was unique. Because everything was closed, I spent practically the whole day reading. Mmm. (FHE and an hour of painting with watercolors were the only non-reading I did.) After reading the first page of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in Spanish, I opened ...
It's quote time. :) I finished The Problem of Pain last night, and there's a lot of good stuff. The book is (obviously) about pain: if God is good, then why do bad things happen? What's the purpose of pain? And it does an excellent job ...

The bad news is that my laptop died yesterday. The good news is that this may end up giving me more time to read. :) I finished Alice in Wonderland a few days ago, and I'm still making my way through Jane Eyre, War and Peace and Getting ...
We've been reading Miracles in the C.S. Lewis Society, and although the first few chapters ended up almost devoid of markings, the chapters since then have seen a fair amount of scribbles. Here are some of the quotes I liked:
In chapter 8, Lewis says:
It is therefore inaccurate to define ...
I've got to get to bed so this'll be short, but I started reading War and Peace a couple of days ago (I've read the first two chapters so far). Good stuff. I'm sure it'll be even better once I get into the story, but I'm already liking ...
