Finished Reading “Heretics”

Image
  "G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on  "heretics" - those who pride themselves on their superiority to Christian views - Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds... those who hold incomplete and inadequate views about "life, the universe, and everything." He is, in short, criticizing all that host of non-Christian views of reality, as he demonstrated in his follow-up book Orthodoxy. The book is both an easy read and a difficult read. But he manages to demonstrate, among other things, that our new 21st century heresies are really not new because he himself deals with most of them." (Goodreads)

Hope Is What Remains

“The arrow flies while you breathe The hours tick away, the cells tick away The Watchmaker has time up his sleeve The hours tick away, they tick away The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect So hard to earn, so easily burned . . .  The future disappears into memory With only a moment between Forever dwells in that moment Hope is what remains to be seen.” —————— “The Garden” by Rush.  Songwriters: Alex Lifeson / Geddy Lee / Neil Elwood Peart

Happy Breakfast Club Day

  On March 24, 1984, five students at Shermer High School report at 7:00 a.m. for an all-day detention: socially awkward Brian Johnson, volatile wrestler Andrew Clark, shy loner Allison Reynolds, popular snob Claire Standish, and rebellious delinquent John Bender.

A Day Out

Work is killing me right now. One person calls out and the whole schedule is destroyed. I’m still looking for a better job. Never know when I’m going to get rest and it’s weighing on me. Having to work night shift next four nights so wanted to get fresh air and sunshine before plunging into the nights. At least I get lots of reading done. Not a good environment for writing though. Took Critter to “The Big Library” downtown to play for a couple hours. Enjoy! Bottom “kids” floor of the library

Booting up takes longer nowadays. No sudden moves.
