Thoughts on the Senior Thesis Project, Pt. 3

"...If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. ... For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be…See More

"Your opening quotation and closing remarks remind me very much of the story with which Chesterton opens in his book Orthodoxy. Chesterton describes his own spiritual journey from being raised in a Christian home to rejecting it and finally returning…"

Thoughts on the Senior Thesis Project, Pt. 1

I wrote a post here a few weeks back to announce the dates for our annual Senior Thesis Day, and added a brief note that I would spend a bit of time talking about the Senior Thesis project and what it means for our school. In putting my thoughts together, I realized I would have a hard time explaining the thesis…See More

Mark your calendars...

The end of the school year approaches quickly. As in years past, our seniors have been hard at work crafting their thesis papers, and will soon begin adapting those papers into presentations. This task, one that is difficult but fruitful, will culminate in two events at the end of the school year. The first is our annual Senior Thesis Day, which, contrary to its name, will take place during both the 8th and 9th of May on the school grounds. We have a total of ten students presenting, and the…See More

"I couldn't agree more Shea.  We have to learn what is worth our care and we learn it from others."

"Mr. Kearns, I really love this, especially the part where you say, "The man who constantly speaks is the same who never listens; the bird cannot be taught who will not sit still. Age removes his abilities, but that very removal creates an…"

"Yes! The end of your piece recalls Frost's "I have promises to keep"  not just appointments, obligations, but those things to which I have pledged myself, which I want to keep even when I would rather not.    "

"I, too, enjoyed this!  You gave an excellent explanation for the necessity of learning philosophy, poetry, literature, art, music - the "frills" of the curriculum (sarcasm intended!)  One needs only to look around in the…"

Caring

Because these wings are no longer wings to fly But merely vans to beat the air The air which is now thoroughly small and drySmaller and dryer than the willTeach us to care and not to careTeach us to sit still. ~T.S. Eliot, Ash Wednesday Eliot is one of my favorite poets. His poetry is often bleak, but seems always to intimate some faint hope. Early in his career, this hope is a shrug of the shoulders, a hope along the lines of "at least a century from now, I'll be gone and none of this will…See More

"This looks like another book I'll have to put on my "list".  I've always cringed when I've heard evangelicals downplay the role of intellect in faith.  There's a certain "fear" of leaving the faith…"

John Piper Thinks

Here's a quick reading recommendation, in case of travel plans during spring break: Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God, by John Piper, makes a case for the use of our minds in the pursuit of God. Piper confronts certain biblical passages that are sometimes used to deny the importance of the intellect in the Christian faith, and describes how careful observation and understanding of God's word lead to better appreciation of Him in worship. He also spends some time considering…See More
