Mental atrophy...my only excuse. Thoughts have tumbled through my head. I have read voraciously. Yet writing has seemed a lead weighted endeavor. It refuses to come. Or, (more to the truth) I have not wanted to apply myself. Capturing my thoughts, and caging them within the constraints of letters and syntax requires effort, and I have been tired.
Over Christmas, I devoured several books which reshaped my process of thinking about life, reality, and culture. My mind is still wrestling with the practical implication of these books in my daily life. But, if anyone is interested, I listed their Amazon links below:
1) Total Truth: Liberating Christianity From its Cultural Captivity by Nancy Pearcy
2) Modern Art and the Death of a Culture by H.R. Rookmaaker
3) Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in an Age of Show Business by Neil Postman
4) Discourse on Method by Rene Descartes
Seeing that this post has morphed into a kind of "state of my mind address", I will go ahead and include the books on my soon to be read list as well...just to give a sketch of my mental itinerary for the next while.
1) Various modern philosophers...passages from Hobbes, Pascal, Racine, and Locke
2) Economics: THE AMERICAN ECONOMY from a Christian Perspective by Tom Rose
3) Logic by Issac Watts
Thus, the state of my mind. Hopefully, with a little dilligence this year, I may craft some coherent thought from these presently rambled jumblings (or did I mean jumbled ramblings? )!
