Daily Readings

I used to post up daily readings from the Lutheran Service Book, but after a while I noticed that it didn't include the "Whole Bible" in the yearly readings. That started to bug me so I set up a system of my own using Libronix that I like better. (Libronix is my theology library on the computer, I've got 55 volumes of Luther's works, dozens of other books and the Bible in a couple of versions, also a few commentaries and studies of books, it's pretty cool.) You can set up a reading schedule in any form you want to, I have set it up to read through the whole Bible in a year and Psalms and Proverbs every month. I have a reading from the Old Testament, one from the Gospels-Acts-Revelation and one from the Epistles every day. I'm liking that better than the lectionary because I'm just afraid I'll miss something the other way :-) Yeah, I'm pretty anal about some things. I like things to be organized and predictable, I like things all planned out, including my spontaneous moments ;-/

Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
