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.

My Vriend,ek vra u die belangrikstevraag van die lewe. U vreugde of u verdriet, vir alle EWIGHEID hang daarvan af. Die vraag is: IS U GERED? Die vraag is nie of u ’n lid van een of ander Kerk is nie, maar: IS U GERED? Dit is nie ’n kwessie van hoe goed u is nie, Maar: IS U GERED? Niemand kan die seën van God geniet, of Hemel toe gaan, sonder om gered te wees nie – Jesus het vir Nikodemus gesê in Johannes 3:7;,,Moenie jou verwonder dat ek vir jou gesê het, JULLE MOET WEER GEBORE WORD NIE.”God gee aan ons in Sy Heilige Woord die ENIGSTE plan vir saligheid. Die plan is eenvoudig, u kan VANDAG gered word.

God Se Eenvoudige Saligheidsplan

"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. One essay...
