The Simple Woman’s Daybook for March 10, 2014
FOR TODAY Outside my window…it’s dark. Maybe a bit warmer, though. Praising God…for a fun trip to the zoo with my children. I am thinking… about books on India. Do you have any suggestions for narratives set in India for a strong 9 year old reader who is interested in the country because of…
Book Review: That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis
That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read this on Kindle. I really enjoyed this book. There was so much that Lewis had to say and show. The evil was really evil, and the layers were peeled back slowly, slowly to the final climax. The evil is so evil…
Weekly Report: March 3-7, 2014
It feels like I just did this. Oh, I did! Sadly, this week was not as good as last week. It was still pretty good, though, in the grand scheme of things. The issue was more the way things done rather than getting them done … because they were generally accomplished. This was one of…

I’ve been reading through Ravi Jain and Kevin Clark’s new book The Liberal Arts Tradition while sitting at basketball practices these last couple of months. I am enjoying it quite a bit – especially the parts I understand well which makes me more comfortable with the parts I *don’t* quite get. I already quoted it…
