Sybil: September 2012
http://sybiliread.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 24, 2012. The France trip, September 2012. Airfare from Knoxville to Paris was about $1,200. It took only 8 hours to get from Atlanta to Paris, and when we arrived in was the morning of the next day (6 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time). Most museums cost 9 or 10 euros each, but are free on the first Sunday of every month—which, unbelievably, was the very day we headed to the museums! Bottled water at a restaurant, or a soft drink for that matter, costs around $5. Train ride to Nancy.

Sybil: Culture Making: Recovering our Creative Calling by Andy Crouch
http://sybiliread.blogspot.com/2013/04/culture-making-recovering-our-creative.html
Thursday, April 18, 2013. Culture Making: Recovering our Creative Calling by Andy Crouch. I thought I was going to really like this book. The first few chapters were so interesting; I have them all marked up, but then somewhere along the line it lost its punch. I do very much like the idea of being creators. Of culture instead of merely explainers or analyzers. Everyone is called to create in some sense. What is the [supposed] remedy? Seminars, worldview books.these may have some real value if they h...

Sybil: August 2012

Tuesday, August 21, 2012. Cicadas and Rascals and Steve Jobs. The cicadas are singing loudly in the trees, the grass is green, and the weather is lovely. Mary and Jonathan are off to Nashville visiting the sights and going to a Rascal Flats concert. Here are a few quotes:. He was so weirdly charismatic that you almost had to get deprogrammed after you talked to him.". He lies not because it's in his interest, he lies because it's in his nature.". Lines like that cover a multitude of sins. I have always l...

Friday, February 10, 2012. Book list part V. Book List part V. A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen. By Christopher McDougal. This is such. Who knew there were really 100 mile runs! As well as the evidence for barefoot running. Anyway, since I don’t have the hard copy to peruse, here is a quote from Amazon:. An epic adventure that began with one simple question: Why does my foot hurt? So Dad, I guess you have the house started on by now, no doubt? It was nice to r...

Sybil: November 2011
http://sybiliread.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 18, 2011. A well-put phrase how we always make allowances for ourselves, but can't quite extend the same grace to others. (Can't find the quote.). Anyway, on around the subdivision I went, picking up more and more leaves, and wondering what on earth I would do with so many. I thought perhaps at Thanksgiving the fam could do a leaf craft, and all make pictures with the dried leaves. But would the kids want to? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I have always liked the name Sybil; I wanted to nam...

Tuesday, January 31, 2012. 2011 Book List part III. By Laura Hillenbrand. This is the second book by Hillenbrand; her first was the best seller Seabiscuit. About suffering from debilitating chronic fatigue syndrome while writing these books. Unbroken. Is a book probably everybody should read, if you can take it. (By the way Random House accepted her first book the first time she submitted it. Unlike the author of The Help. Who had to submit her book 62 times.). I also read The Help. By John R. Noe...

Sybil: May 2013
http://sybiliread.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 7, 2013. Ladies, take your turn. So, have you ever noticed that women, and maybe men, but probably not so much, don't notice when they are taking someone else's turn to talk? They just talk talk talk, never realizing it's not their turn! So Jessica, one of my co-workers, bought a jogging stroller on Craigslist, and since I love Craigslist I said, "Oh let's see it! I just want to see the stroller and tell Jessica, "How cool is that! And when Suzie said yes, I proceded to pull out my large-scr...
