Jesse Hake commented on David Kearns's blog post Thoughts on the Senior Thesis Project, Pt. 2
"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…"

"Thanks for sharing these thoughts. I really appreciated your idea that, even if we give students the best skills and information, these things are only valuable if students also develop a noble set of loves and passions. I'm looking…"

"Whenever we walk into a library I always stop, look at all the books and say, "Hello, Friends!" The girls have always found this silly, but this sweet little film made them understand why I do it -- by bringing the books to life. :)"

"Wonderful! Loved watching the girls slowly understand the hidden meaning in this story. (" Oh! The people are gray until the stories brings color to them!")
Next in my queue of stories to get lost in: The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. :)"

Jesse Hake replied to CCA Administration's discussion Suggest weekly paintings, poems and passages

"Looking forward to your thoughts! Our kids had a good time with it. Some of the old-fashioned slapstick humor (tribute to Buster Keaton) appeals to kids of all ages."

Calling all Lovers and Child-like Hearts (to Watch a 15 Minute Film)
Long before this short animated film started collecting awards, Jason Rayner (a CCA alumni who is studying animation at the Savannah College of Art and Design) recommend this groundbreaking little work by Moonbot Studios. In addition to over a dozen awards already, "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore" was recently announced as one of five Academy Award…

Teresa Lanza said… - Hi Jesse, I was trying to find out how to leave a comment for you and the first route I took said I had to be your "friend" to leave a message. I think I found a way around that eventually -- by the way, I was trying to find the audio collection to listen to "Dumb and Dumber" and still haven't found it. I agree, there's no need for a "friend":feature and if it could be disabled rather than telling people you have to be a "friend" that would solve the problem.

Cal Sanelli said… - Haha I had never read that before, but I went to one of their games after the first day of school. They scored 4 goals that game, and they sang the song everytime. I was immediatly hooked and sort of made it the 2011 falcons theme song. We are always singing it and yelling it after we score, and we also occasionally blast it in the vans to pump us up before a game!
