Some "Light Blogging"

Thanks, AcceptanceWith Joy! Is that a compliment? She observes that I'm not one for "light blogging." That kind of depends, but mostly y'all get a digested version of what I'm reading about and reflecting upon. Right now, that happens to be a rather lengthy book about freedom and liberty, Psalm 119 and an article about how Christianity turns the faithful into scoffers (more on that later!) But, while I clean up this article I'm working on and get it into some sort of shape I'd be willing to affix my name to, I shall be engaging in some "light blogging."
First, an introduction...a new PAer! She has only been blogging since the end of the world (6/6/06), but already I think I'm going to like her. And if you read her blog, she is following the format for teacher preparation very nicely. And if you read this blog (which I assume you must be doing at least now), you will suddenly see some striking similarities between her postings and my general approach to blogging. Did PA do that to me? Not really...but I bet you can see immediately what draws me to it!

Also, my friend Shannon who is not new to blogging, but blogs rather infrequently has a new post up on patience. See, there IS something we PAers have in common. We like words, I think. We come up with entire entries...series even...on a single word.

Why is it that whenever I read something encouraging about something happening in the public schools, it has nothing to do with education? And you know, that will probably stick with them longer than any list of names and facts they had to memorize.

Also, an affluent Chicago school wins the lottery...What to do with 2.8 million?

Catez shares a great meme. If you do it, please leave me a comment so I can check it out...I could use the money, er, um, I mean I'd really like to get to know you better.

And, last but not least, the Carnival of Kid Comedy is up over at Why Homeschool.  Take a look for some light entertainment!

That's it for now. How do you like my diet version of me?

Of course it's a compliment. I like reading that turns on my brain and makes me think. Oh, I like the other kind of reading too... but it is nice to have something to chew on! :o)

And wouldn't you know it that I messed up your ID. Fixing it now : (

(and I did take it as a compliment....otherwise I wouldn't have been so happy as to have pointed it out in its very own entry!)

I love the reference to the end of the world! Funny, I would have expected more hype on that than I remember seeing. I wonder why the crazies didn't make more of a stink.

Also on a lighter note, my dh posted his version of a tag I did. The answer to the last question might be familiar to you as a train wife. Check it out when you can.

Just as an encouragement, I love your "heavy" posts. Don't always get to them as often as I'd like, but they're always thought-provoking. Maybe I shouldn't read them before bed? Maybe that's what's keeping me awake at night. Hmmm ... just kidding.

Love your diet stuff too, though!

Now that I go back and actually start following your links, I'm really curious about the PA too. Please hold me accountable for looking into it.

I've always been one to do the word searches, use the concordances heavily, use lots of logic, and make connections at multiple levels. I always thought that was just one of your lovely quirks. ; )

Pester me if I don't report back to you. Please .... ?

I'll check out the tag tomorrow (probably)....and I'd love to pester you about PA!!! That whole word thing is one of my lovely quirks...and something that I absolutely love about PA. It is not the easiest approach to follow, but at the same time, I think that it is something that everyone could benefit from researching and applying what they can. That seminar you downloaded provides probably the best overview you can get in a short period of time.

People get way overwhelmed sometimes...which I can definitely understand. But I kept telling myself, "I'm teaching a seven year old!" I figure by the time she needs me to know THAT much, I will : )
