Two-a-Day

August brings football to East Texas, and two-a-days are those twice a day practice sessions in the fierce August heat. This year even hotter.

So, it seemed to me a good time to begin two-a-days in the blogging world. Besides, its COOLER in here at the keyboard. The other venue is called Blogging Lectionary A, which only means things to pastors, I suppose, but it's a three-year pattern used by many traditional churches to move through the Old Testament, Psalms, Letters, and Gospels over the course of three years.

Which makes it a good framework for me. And maybe for you, if you care to travel along.

'I’m sure you’ve read this quote before: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates said that at his trial for heresy. He was on trial for encouraging his students to challenge the accepted beliefs of the time and think for themselves. The sentence was death but Socrates had the option of suggesting an alternative punishment.' (http://www.relaxfocussucceed.com/articles/2003010002.htm) Karl W. Palachuk begins an article quoting one of the most quoted sayings of all history.

So, let's do a bit of that!

I'll bring along a deep barrel of clippings and useful stuff, a few personal experiences, and an open-ness to questions along the way. I'll suggest a few books that YOU ought to buy, including my latest favorite, Caroline Kennedy's "A Patriot's Handbook".

August is hot and dry. The cultural scene heats up all around us and the spirit can dry up without some fresh water and such.

Check back, I'll be here most days.
