I don’t think I’d want to bare my indignation. That seems so immodest!

In trying to track down a favorite Schaeffer quite, I cam across an interesting article you might want to glance at:

I enjoyed that!

Comment on Mending and Healing by Nathan W Northup

Poetically refreshing. If the gospel word is balm, couldn’t other lesser words be such? And if so, even the words you confess above may be one layer of soothing ointment in the healing process. Take care my sister.

Sounds like a CREC conspiracy to me. I am halfway surprised Douglas Wilson hasn’t shown up.

Oh, dear. I hadn’t noticed that… Maybe I should have put in some subcategories in the rules to prevent the appearance of favoritism? Any Baptists out there? Catholics? Anglicans? I might just have to throw you in for good measure! :}

It’s a CREC trifecta! Would that make it a triCRECta?

Thanks for this post and for the quote from John Piper. This is something I needed to hear at this point in my own life.

Comment on Seeing Differently by Kristen

I “see” like that a bit, except that I “paint” pictures with my camera. I’m always looking at light and shadows and people and thinking about how I’d capture them with my camera.

Hi, Paul:

The monk Keller refers to Ailred of Rievaulx. I’ve stumbled across some quotations of his here and there: maybe I’ll post some… Thanks for stopping by!

Great sermon. What was the name of the 12th century monk he mentioned? Any idea?

Comment on Ruskin on “teaching taste” by H

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 22:14:33 +0000

Yup. Sometime’s I’m quite happy on days that I discover I’ve created a bunch of little art snobs. Not that I really want them to be “snobs” of course… but I’m quite happy when they don’t feel they need to be pluralistic about what’s “beautiful” any more readily than they would be about what’s “true” or what’s “good.”

I don’t remember the “Babysitter’s Club” bookstore incident, but I’m glad you remember it with graciousness rather than rolling your eyes at your overbearing big sister. Love you, Bek!

Comment on Ruskin on “teaching taste” by Bekah

I remember vividly, Heidi, when you were a cool college kid, and Heather and I were just young ‘uns, you trying to convince me in a book store that I should buy something other than the Babysitter’s Club books I had picked out…Heather, being the wiser and more mature twin, chose an M. Engle book, which both of us read and reread. I could still tell you what the book was about. I insisted on buying the Babysitter’s Club book, which of course I read once and had no desire to pick up ever again (should of listened to the big sister!).
Taste can be taught and should be taught, and honestly, I’ve never really given that idea much thought until I read your blog today. Taste “education” of course can be ignored or forsaken, but why not make the attempt to mold character–we make every other attempt to bring up our children well.
As for me, let the molding (that sounds a bit gross!) begin fresh–I’m all for improving my character!
