Wednesdays With Words: October Week #1
Just a reminder that while I’m participating in Write 31 Days this month, I won’t be posting new words (I’m saving them, though!) … but I’d love to read yours all month long! ‘);
Wednesdays with Words: Meaningful and Ordered Universe
I have been reading Karen Glass’ book Consider This for quite a while now. I always seem to find exactly ideas at exactly the right time. Brandy, of course, has been blogging through The Liberal Arts Tradition and she’s in the middle of what I found to be the most difficult section on the Quadrivium. I…
Wednesdays with Words: Brightness and Character
Last week, the quote I offered was from an audio book, this week I’m sharing one from a podcast. Do you listen to any podcasts? This is a relatively new medium for me. I’m not very auditory, I mean you saw my sermon notebook where I come as close as I can to transcribing sermons…
Wednesdays with Words: The Opaque Veil
N-boy has been reading these “10 Boys Who … ” books. Recently, he read one who wrote about great theologians and writers. In the book he read about A W Tozer. He came down and asked if we had any or if he could read some. I don’t know. I asked a trusted friend at…
The Simple Woman’s Daybook for September 14, 2015
For Today… Monday September 14, 2015 Outside my window…. is an absolutely perfect fall day. They just don’t get better than this. Clear blue sky, not too hot. Gorgeous. I am thinking… about remembering and if it fits into *revel* or Wonder. I am thankful… for my children’s piano lessons over the years. I’m enjoying the fruit…
Wednesdays with Words: Inculcating A Passion for Truth
I can’t get away from it. I read a bunch more pages of Teaching from Rest by Sarah Mackenzie and she digs deeper into the idea of Wonder and I thought, “This is wonderful. I must commonplace these (is that a verb now?) and may use one for Wednesdays with Words.” Yes, the parenthetical aside was…
Wednesdays with Words: Surrender … Take On
I’m very slowly (very slowly) reading Sarah Mackenzie’s Teaching from Rest. A couple of weeks ago I posted a quote from the Introduction. Now, I’m posting from early in the first chapter. Seriously, slowly. But, the ideas from her words make an impact and require mulling and turning over and over – at least for me….
Wednesdays with Words: The Wild Thyme Blows
We have been reading such good things in school, working our way through Kidnapped and A Midsummer Night’s Dream in particular. I posted pictures of my commonplace book last week with quotes from both; one I liked the ideas within and the other two quotes the poetics of. I mean, the assonance and near rhyme…
Wednesdays with Words: To Those Ends
Welcome to the one-year anniversary edition of the Wednesdays with Words linkup here at ladydusk! I can’t believe it’s been a year. I know this summer has been a bit scattered, but I’m so pleased that I’ve had the opportunity to get to know you and your reading and your books over the last 52…
Wednesdays With Words: Your Neighbor’s Schoolbus
You probably know that I was on vacation with no internet last week because Anna did a fabulous job hosting Wednesdays With Words from her new (beautiful) internet home Little Drops of Water. We were on a Disney cruise. A generous gift. It was wonderful and relaxing, and frankly I didn’t think about the post…
