Made it to Chapter 8

One probably wonders what I’m working on.  As an Independent Scholar, as I am not attached to a University, I am writing a commentary on the first book of a personal journal written by a 2nd Century Roman Emperor. In that book he lists 16 names and describes what each person contributed to his life. That’s the short version. I’ve covered the first 8 so far and hit a wall. Now I’ve gone back and am editing Chapters 1-3 to keep my mojo going. Not sure when I’ll be done but hopefully by years’ end. I already have another project lined up. 

St. Pat's In Five Points

-
The streets of Five Points in downtown Columbia, S.C. will be covered in all things green for the annual "St. Pat's in Five Points" festival on Saturday, March 15, 2008. This means that hundreds of people will be gathering to hear the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ! Just look at what they already did to the Fountain!



Anyone with a burden for this lost and dying world interested in an evangelistic outreach, get in touch with me soon so we can organize.

St. Patrick's Day Evangelism Surveys are here for the printing if you are in to doing your own thing.

Don't worry. I'll have the rest of yesterday's blog posted later.

"On Keeping A Notebook" by Joan Didion

I'm nearly finished reading Joan Didion's collection of essays, Slouching Towards Bethlehem.  The book was discovered through another book I was reading, Jon Krakauer's Eiger Dreams . If Jon felt this book was good enough to pack along on a mountain climbing expedition, then I'm interested. Took me three tries, but I finally found my copy on Amazon. One of the best book buys I've made. Joan selected the title of this book from William Butler Yeats' classic poem, Second Coming . The book title is shared with one of her larger essays, a record of encounters with people in the 1960's drug culture. Didion's book is divided into three distinct parts: "Life Styles In The Golden Land," a collection of articles capturing the California experience of the 1960's; "Personals," a few of essays of the first-hand nature; and "Seven Places Of The Mind", some thoughts about those parts of California that are now long gone.
