I thought I was the only one who did that. I have a folder filled with quotations that I've collected through the years from books I've read, songs I've heard, and the odd word, phrase, and quotation I've come across. My most recent noted one was this:

"There is a curious thing that happens with the passage of time: a calcification of character. See, if the light hits Brian’s face the right way, I can still see the pale blue hue of his eyes that has always made me think of an island ocean I had yet to swim in. Beneath the fine lines of his smile, there is the cleft of his chin–-the first feature I looked for in the faces of my newborn children. There is his resolve, his quiet will, and a steady peace with himself that I have always wished would rub off on me. These are the base elements that made me fall in love with my husband; if there are times I do not recognize him now, maybe this isn’t a drawback. Change isn’t always for the worst; the shell that forms around a piece of sand looks to some people like an irritation, and to others, like a pearl." My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult

I collected many quotes from that book. It's an excellent read. And I noticed that they recently made a movie of it. For some reason, I fear the movie won't be as good as the book, but then again it rarely is.

Thanks for recommending this band. Just listened to their free release, Live from the Church of the Redeemer. Very nice.

Been reading your blog for awhile. Blessings! (And, yes, Go Jayhawks!)

noreply@blogger.com (Angie) — Fri, 29 May 2009 20:34:37 +0000

Surprisingly, I haven't read anything by P.D. James. I've never been a fan of the Sherlock Holmes. I'm just not into the whole Scotland Yard type of stuff. I had planned on reading Children of Men, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I love apocalypse novels. I'm hoping since I already saw the movie, it won't ruin the book. The authors I regularly read are Jeffery Deaver, Lisa Gardner, James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Harlan Coben, Karin Slaughter and Alex Kava.

I'm afraid I'm not going to win any points in the NCAA category either as I don't necessarily have a favorite team. I was a big MSU fan (still am), but I like to support the local teams--IU, Notre Dame, Purdue, Butler--when they make the playoffs. Love when bracket time comes around!

Anyway, thanks for adding me on GoodReads. I didn't realize you were on it.

Hey Sherry, I'll try and send a list your way. At the very least my top 5.

Angie, thanks for the note! I added you on my GoodReads account, which doesn't get a ton of use, I have to admit. Are you a P.D. James fan? My favorite living mystery writer, second to none.

So who is your NCAA hoops team? If the answer is KU, you have just entered the stratosphere of cool.

noreply@blogger.com (Angie) — Fri, 29 May 2009 18:22:01 +0000

Hi! I’ve subscribed to your blog ever since your NCAA tournament posts last year. I enter a bracket in an office pool every year and I came in third this year. It's interesting reading your picks, even though I go with my own choices.

Anyway, thanks for the book recommendation! I’m a big murder mystery buff and I added the above to my books-to-read list. I also noticed you’re on LibraryThing. I’m on GoodReads, which I like a lot better than LT. You should check it out. If you decide to join, feel free to add me

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry) — Thu, 28 May 2009 03:24:29 +0000

Ariel and friends,

I'm doing a Hymn Project this summer ---just because I want to. You can read more about it at this address on my blog: http://www.semicolonblog.com/?p=5145

But basically, I'm asking you to send me a list of your ten favorite hymns. List these hymns in your order of preference. So your #1 hymn would be the one you feel is the best, and so on. I will be giving your first choice 10 points, your second choice 9 points, and so on. Submit your list to me at sherryDOTearlyATgmailDOTcom. Write “Hymn Survey” in the subject line.

If you like, you can submit a justification for each hymn. Or you can send me a link to an audio or video version online. Include the name of the hymn’s author or lyricist and the composer of the melody you prefer if at all possible, especially if you think I might be unfamiliar with your particular hymn. At the beginning of June I will tally up the totals, and I will pull from the submitted pieces why one reader or another liked a particular hymn (naming the reader, of course). That way we’ll be able to hear from a whole bunch of people why they love one hymn or another. I will then count down from 100 to 1 on my blog over the course of the summer the top choices of what folks feel the best hymns of all time are.

PLEASE SEND YOUR LIST RIGHT AWAY IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE. The deadline is Sunday, May 31st.

Thanks for the kind words, Andreas.

I agree, the plastic earbuds don't quite measure up in terms of style and durability to the metal used in the V-Moda Vibe.

However, while the Vibe is likely a better pair of earbuds (I want a pair), they definitely fall into a high price bracket, since the baseline is around $50.

Maybe not a big deal for an audiophile, but as far as the most bang for your buck, my money is still on the simpler Bass Freq.

noreply@blogger.com (Andreas) — Wed, 13 May 2009 23:19:00 +0000

Good for you, your blog entries rank quite highly on the popular Google search for "best earbuds".

Now my opinions on these buds: I think they're a bit outdated (2006). Not in sound quality but in design. The glossy plastic look can't really match the metal used on other earbuds, like the Vibe.

Pure genius :D yea but my curiosity would get me i think it would have been a trip to meet the living god. I mean the more i talk to him and learn about him the more i change deep down at my core, its a mixed blessing kind of a how deep does the rabbit hole go type of thing and once you go down it..... theres no coming back. But then again ive never been much for the ignorence is bliss thing. Jesus is so complex that hes simple is the best way for me to explain it. To encompass all that knowledge and depth all you realy need to understand is he stands for love and apposes anything on the other side of that fence. Alls i hope is that in some way shape or form hes at least a little proud to have me as a follower and i hope im not screwing things up too horribly lol. long live the real king jesus :D, nice blog guys (and girls) ;)

I happened upon your blog by the most unlikely of circumstances, i.e. I was searching for an image of sufjan stevens on Google and seeing instead a picture of my very own Maryland Terrapins playing your Kansas Jayhawks which sparked my interest enough to visit your blog. Nonetheless, I appreciate your point of view and will hopefully continue to read the blog. Until then I will enjoy some G.K. Chesterton. Thanks!

Hey man, glad they worked out for you. I think these earbuds are a great value even if you bought one of the black pairs. :) To answer your question, yeah, I find myself turning down the volume when I plug them in...although I typically turn it down when I use earbuds, so I couldn't say whether the gain is unusually high.

Hmm. Might have to compare a few pairs and find out.

noreply@blogger.com (Alex) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:59:00 +0000

I admit, after reading your original review and recommendation I went and did a little more research of my own.
Being in the market for something that sounded a little less harsh than the stock ipod headphones I had nothing to lose between a local recommendation and other great reviews.

Music has never sounded so good as with those headphones.

Question, do you find that the gain/volume on your is way higher than most headphones? Most of the time I have to keep the volume low on my computer and ipod.

Cheers.

Hey Will, if you didn't like Vintage Jesus that much, this one probably won't thrill you either. I think Driscoll is targeting people who are pretty motivated to learn about theology and church practice...however, if you're interested in the biblical foundations for "church" or the future of the church or the role of leaders in the church, you'll dig this book.

noreply@blogger.com (Will Robison) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:07:00 +0000

I was not a big fan of Vintage Jesus, mostly because I wasn't its intended audience. This book sounds better, but I'm curious as to who you think the intended audience is.

noreply@blogger.com (Zahava Pasternak) — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 02:35:00 +0000

Perhaps you will write an article on the prophet Ezekiel's words on sin atonement

18:19Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.

20The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

21But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

22All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

23Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

24But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
