Katy’s Weblog
I think I will take a break from reading Laurie King’s series of Mary Russell. (Thanks, K, for lending them to me.)
I just finished reading A Letter of Mary by King. It took me over a month. I kept falling asleep!
I like the mystery in King’s books, but what I don’t like are…
(Read yesterday’s post first)
Yesterday, I posted a scenario that Greg Koukl encountered with a Jewish man. The Jewish man said he believed in God, and was living a moral life. Those were the important things, it seemed to him—how one lived, not what one believed.
What would you say to this Jewish man?
This is from the Stand To Reason Ambassador Insights that are emailed to me by Greg Koukl:
Earlier I wrote about everyday encounters we all have in restaurants. As an ambassador I’ve learned that encounters are the bread and butter of my witness for Christ.
For example, while giving a talk at a local Barnes…
While talking to the secretary at a school today, she said to me in passing, “I don’t want another 8 years of a Republican.” But who really is to blame?
Gary Bauer wrote in his End of Day Report:
In recent days, two Democrats have expressed regret that they did not take more seriously Republican…
I hope more will see the reasons for Prop 8 as David Blankenhorn has. We need to protect our children.
Excerpt of his editorial:
I’m a liberal Democrat. And I do not favor same-sex marriage. Do those positions sound contradictory? To me, they fit together.Many seem to believe that marriage is simply a private love…
As we dropped off our daughter at her college dorm yesterday, I exclaimed in a wave of nostalgia, “Ah…college were some of the best years of my life. It looks like too much fun here!”
If I had a chance to relive any part of my life, would I want to relive my college days?
It’s not the usual type of book that I like to read.
I usually don’t read fantasy. But Elliot recommended Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. Ender’s Game was not available at the library, so I picked up Treasure Box by the same author.
It started out as a rather intriguing mystery. The set up…
There is a Chinese phrase with no English translation that I know of.
My literal translation of the phrase is “diffused heart” or “scattered heart.”
My mom used to say that to us when we don’t want to study when school started in September. “You have a ‘scattered heart’ after the long summer vacation.”
We look at others less fortunate, and we feel better about our own situation, don’t we?
But how about when see those in better situations, do we feel dissatisfied about our own?
If I had chosen to go to a different college, my life could be as good as theirs. If I go to a…
“Sorry for the last minute change of plans, mom.”
My son has his own apartment in college. Expecting him to come home for dinner tonight, I took a roast out of the freezer to prepare him some protein-rich-high-calorie red meat to fill his skips-breakfast-fast-food undernourished body.
In the afternoon, he told me he’s going back to school before dinner.
