Thanks for the reminder. Do you now own this book and can lend it to me? :) Or, do I need to borrow it from the library (which they probably will not have)? :)<BR/><BR/>Hey, the kitchen looks great!

The progress you are making in your home is inspiring, Willa.<BR/><BR/>Lissla Lissar, I really liked Eric Brende's book. I was just reading parts of it the other day.<BR/><BR/>SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15843479.post-6720382127439530092008-05-27T05:41:00.000-07:002008-05-27T05:41:00.000-07:00I just finished that books yesterday.

Bless Kathleen Norris. <BR/><BR/>Another quote:<BR/><BR/>Is it not a good joke that when God gave us work to do as punishment for our disobedience in Eden, it was work that can never be finished, but only repeated, day in and day out, season upon season, year after year?I see here not only God's keen sense of humor, but also a creative and zestful love. It is precisely these thankless, boring, repetitive tasks that are hardest for the workaholic or utilitarian mind to appreciate, and God knows that being rendered temporarily mindless as we toil is what allows us to approach the temple of holy leaisure....<BR/><BR/>I really like her emphasis on our unwillingness to perform repetitive tasks being both acedia and a form of gnosticism- the real world doesn't matter! I'm better than that. It reminds me of Eric Brende's experiments with 'honest Toil' in Better Off.<BR/><BR/>I'm almost finished Real Learning, as well. Thank you. I think I'm starting to get a feel for how one begins homeschooling. Sort of. :)lissla lissarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354424704358588553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15843479.post-35700046120387091982008-05-27T05:31:00.000-07:002008-05-27T05:31:00.000-07:00This is something that has never really become tru...This is something that has never really become true for me in my heart even though intellectually I know it. I need to really feel that doing this work that I hate and I find so full of drudgery and so thankless really truly is something that can give glory to God.<BR/><BR/>I am gearing up for a big housecleaning/organizational time in June and I really need this lesson to blossom in my heart.<BR/><BR/>Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/><BR/>FaithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
