Wednesday, October 9. Review: The Annotated Northanger Abbey. The Annotated Northanger Abbey. By Jane Austen, Edited and Annotated by David M. Shapard.

Sunday, November 30. Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down. 1 Corinthians 1.3-9. Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,. That the mountains might quake at your presence—. As when fire kindles brushwood. And the fire causes water to boil—. To make your name known to your adversaries,. And that the nations might tremble at your presence! When you did awesome things that we did not look for,. You came down, the mountains quaked at your presence. From of old no one has heard. But now, O.

Wednesday, March 20. Jesus, Exclusivity and Tolerance. The 'problem' of tolerance has come up a few times in the Sunday School class I'm currently teaching, 'Intro to Revelation'. I didn't want to deal with it from the hip, so here's the outline I came up with for last Sunday's lesson, which was well received. And if you're really interested, here's the mp3 of the class. Jesus is the only way to the Father. But, we Christians have really misrepresented Him. The Gospel is that everyone is lost ( Luke 15.

Wednesday, November 7. Thoughts on the election. Nothing has changed - President, House, Senate - so I think we can reasonably expect nothing much to continue happening in the next 4 years. I happen to think this is preferable to a Romney presidency and a Republican mandate. Wow, did Nate Silver ever nail it. He was one of the big stories of this election. I've read a lot about him lately. This was the first video I watched of him. Triumph of the Nerds: Nate Silver Wins in 50 States. Posted by Sean Meade.

Sunday, October 21. I just finished reading Carl Sandburg's one volume Abraham Lincoln. Biography. Sandburg's work was fine. It's not how we would do biography nowadays. Lincoln was very impressive. I decided part-way through to keep a running list of some of his virtues. Humility - including humble origins, being a man of the people, and being able to admit when he was wrong. He even sometimes took blame that wasn't his. Didn't take things personally. Had one, chief goal. Moved slowly on slavery. The sy...

Saturday, January 3. Songs from the Psalms. Ok: here's the project: What songs do I know with lyrics from the Psalms? I put a bunch of them in a Spotify playlist in addition to typing all of the songs out. If it's not in the Spotify playlist, I couldn't find a decent version (sometimes the versions I did find were too cheesy to include). If you can find a decent version of any of those, I'll happily add them. 1 Psalm 1, Kim Hill. 2 Why do the nations, Handel. While The Nations Rage, Rich Mullins. O Magni...

Saturday, January 4. My 2013 in Review. Thanks to the teaching of Dallas Willard, this was my best year of following Jesus. I have a ton to learn and a long way to go. I won't stop needing to learn and grow. But I've been able to often keep a different mindset and experience more peace of mind. More on this topic: I have decided to follow Jesus. Christine and I celebrated our 20th anniversary and, in my opinion, our marriage is as good as ever. Posted by Sean Meade. Saturday, January 04, 2014.

Saturday, August 2. I read two Tolkien books this week, coincidentally in their original editions: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl and Sir Orfeo. From USC's Thomas Cooper Library) and The Road Goes Ever On. From the Lexington County Public Library). Was printed in 11pt Garamond type, which looks to me like the typeface I first read The Lord of the Rings. In back around 1980. I should try to use it more often ;-). My favorite part of Beowulf. Were my favorite part of that work. Posted by Sean Meade.
