A Fort Made of Books. Theology, Art, Entertainment, and Cat Litter in Missouri, USA. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. The story is narrated by Death, for starters. For the main course, it takes place in Nazi Germany during World War II, when a girl named Liesel Meminger learned to love everybody in her low-income neighborhood before losing them in an air raid. Zusak is also the author of The Messenger. Aka I Am the Messenger. Which I have read; and of the trilogy The Underdog, Fighting Ruben Wolfe. Which I hav...

A Fort Made of Books. Theology, Art, Entertainment, and Cat Litter in Missouri, USA. Saturday, May 9, 2015. This idea's time has so thoroughly come that I am probably too late to claim credit for it, but hey - if even a small part of it hasn't been tried out, remember whom to tip when you sell the idea for a zillion bucks. What if all this was replaced by large, touch-screen Android tablets or iPads dedicated to a scoring app that displays each performer's part? How does that sound, music nerds? The Whee...

A Fort Made of Books: Two Kinds of Affliction
http://afortmadeofbooks.blogspot.com/2015/05/two-kinds-of-affliction.html
A Fort Made of Books. Theology, Art, Entertainment, and Cat Litter in Missouri, USA. Saturday, May 9, 2015. Two Kinds of Affliction. ALL SUFFERING IS NOT "THE CROSS." IT IS ONLY THE CROSS IF IT UPHOLDS CHRIST. What I mean to point out is that there are two types of affliction, as the apostle Peter wrote: "For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? Robin D Fish Jr.

IndianaJane's Homeschool Notebook: 2013-01-20
http://homeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/2013_01_20_archive.html
Thoughts on homeschooling from a decidely relaxed perspective colored by confessional Lutheranism and burnished by years spent with my wonderful children. Saturday, January 26, 2013. My 17 year old took the SAT today. He's planning to take Latin at the local university this summer and during his senior year next year, so it was time for the test. Jonathan did a little better. And he's writing well in college. But was there really any value in his essay score? What does it demonstrate? We'll know in a few...

IndianaJane's Homeschool Notebook: It really was like that
http://homeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/2013/01/it-really-was-like-that.html
Thoughts on homeschooling from a decidely relaxed perspective colored by confessional Lutheranism and burnished by years spent with my wonderful children. Sunday, January 27, 2013. It really was like that. Over the last several years I have found myself becoming a bit of an unschooling advocate. There have been lots of, "What did a day look like at your house? They have reasonable standards of personal hygiene.). It gave me lots of years to enjoy life with my kids, on our own agenda. And it really wa...

A Fort Made of Books. Theology, Art, Entertainment, and Cat Litter in Missouri, USA. Saturday, October 25, 2014. OK, so it's not Pulitzer Prize stuff. Nobody outside a 30-mile radius of Stover, Missouri, is going to care about it. But it's a step. Here, as an aid to my own memory, is a brief run-down on the steps I have been trying to use, and the ones my colleague taught me this past week. The "Kill the Magenta" Approach. Another thing you will do quite early in the process is crop the photo to eliminat...

A Fort Made of Books. Theology, Art, Entertainment, and Cat Litter in Missouri, USA. Sunday, November 30, 2014. Scratched and Dented 4. Aaaand still more hymns rescued from the abysmal mediocrity of my high school and (mostly) college poetry album. After a bit of touching up, maybe they're just a tad less mediocre. More on the order of "better than expected under the circumstances.". To God we lift our song of praise,. Father and Lord from endless days:. All earth is raptly praying. For all who heed Thy ...
