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: misc.

The academic year is now in full swing and even though I am not yet able to take classes for credit, I am continuing to study and learn. So here are my busy activities:

Religious studies:
Bible Study Fellowship (studying the Life of Moses)--once a week with homework;
Covenant Group (topical study on the nature of living victoriously amidst suffering)--twice a month;
Sunday School (Men's group, topical on how to cultivate a loving relationship with God and seek after holiness)--once a week plus verse memorization;
Personal devotions (exegetical of the Wisdom Literature and general Bible reading)--as time permits.

Towards writing:
Literary Group (currently reading the works of Dostoevsky)--twice per month plus the time to read;
Other Reading Projects:
Mostly recreational reading (mind candy)--currently reading Kerouac, Stephenson, PKD.
Blog entries.
Audible books.

Technical:
Not pursuing formal studies except Continuing Education credits for my electrical license--in October, WAC/WISHA rules and NFPA; in November, 2008 NEC.

For miscellaneous Philosophy: Peter Leithart's Blog

For current events: five minutes snatched here and there to surf the information ocean.

In all of this I must make sure to pay attention to my family and attend to prayer.

May God sustain me!
