In good writing, words become one with things.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould us. ~Oswald Chambers

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

John Quincy Adams

So apparently, sheep in Scotland are shrinking. This flies in the face of traditional evolutionary theory. That can't be right... hmm... Global warming, of course! Yay, problem solved! Now we don't have to question the theory we've been teaching as fact for all these years. Careers and reputations are on the line, for goodness sake!

Come on people. This is one of a million evidences that evolutionary theory (macro-evolution) holds about as much water as a sponge on a hot tin roof during global warming. It's the greatest thing going since flat-earth!

So I read this book a while back... In the Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss. Stinking story made me cry. Another one of my silly fantasy books. I think I like fantasy because it is entertaining, stretches my imagination, usually contains only small amounts of sappy romance, and typically contain lots of sword-play. Anyway, I occasionally come across an author that slaps me in the face and tweaks my heart strings one way or another. Depending on the slap and the strings I either promptly discard the book, shudder, spend a few days depressed, and move on, OR I become obsessed and read every book the guy (or gal) ever wrote as fast as possible.

I was reading Mr. Rothfuss('s?) blog the other day. Like many fantasy authors, he's funny, geeky, and fairly worldly. So I can't really post links to his blog without warning there are some swear words. And I'm only linking to his blog so he doesn't get mad when I post this picture:

This is part of a conversation I had with my Dad. It's a bit one sided since I don't post his thoughts, but it's mostly just rambling thought anyway. I haven't posted here in a long time. This stuff takes so much energy! And it often leaves me mildly depressed - ugh.

Where have the heroes gone? PDF Print E-mail

Bruce Wayne (batman) is killed. By his father. Man that's sad, and of course ironic.

I'm sure he's not gone for good. They rarely do that, especially when said character is making good movies. Most likely it's a soap opera "twist" or something.

“You realize in their absence how valuable the character is,” said Dan DiDio, DC’s senior vice president and executive editor. “Bruce Wayne will always be back as Batman someday.”

Batman is one of those charaters that reminds us you don't have to have superpowers to be a hero. True, he's rich. Hmm. Maybe you don't have to be rich either. But that sounds a lot more difficult...

And now I'm reminded that we rarely point out the real heroes. That patient father, the repentant child, the ones who die for the people they love, the people who never stop believing. Hmm, it seems like maybe I did read a book like that once. I'll have to think about it...

Walter Lane spoke at Netherwood this Sunday about priorities, and the message of Christ's death and resurrection being the of first priority in the gospel. I don't know, I may have lost some readers just by using the word "gospel." It's not as commonplace of a word as it used to be. It means good news, the revelation of Christ to the world. It is synonymous with truth. To take something as "gospel" means to assume it is true.

In any case, it is based on this message from Paul (1 Corinthians 15:1-8):
