The Sublime & Beautiful vs. Reality

This blog is a record of one man's struggle to search for scientific, philosophical, and religious truth in the face of the limitations imposed on him by economics, psychology, and social conditioning; it is the philosophical outworking of everyday life in contrast to ideals and how it could have been.


-
The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God
and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.
--Johannes Kepler

Personal Update: Irons In the Fire

As a place-holder to this blog for the (almost over) month of February (2008), I thought I would give some excuses, I mean reasons, for no entries.

Our literary group did not meet for the month and I've been too busy with everyday life to start the next book on my own.

My side-job businesses have picked up a little and I had some opportunities to work some overtime at my main job. I built a server for the company my brother Stuart works for and repaired a computer for one of my former clients. I also squeezed in two trade related jobs, etc.

I've been working on background material for some characters in a story based on the universe of the Traveller RPG and of course reading up on some of my gaming references. The built-in check & balance is that everyone (incl. my conscience, my other conscience-my wife, and the guilt complex of a Calvinist Christian that's not supposed to goof off) has kept me from getting too preoccupied with my "research".

I am now involved in many bible studies; here is the list (from the top of my memory cache-head):
*Bible Study Fellowship (their notes are written by Boice)
*One-on-one with a friend beginning with 1&2 Samuel (Precepts, but supplemented with Leithart's book, Pastor Rayburn's sermons, and my own sources).
*Disciplines of Godly Men Sunday school class involving memorization, reading, etc.
*and then I'm supposed to squeeze in a quiet time and minister to my family :(.

And now every time I feel the urge to sit down and write at my waiting computer I am prevented by the tyranny of the immediate (like having to go to work or side job). So, I have stolen a few minutes to whine here in the place-holder entry. Cheers to everyone.

Some day maybe---
