The Christian Roots of Postmodernism

Review of Explaining postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault by Stephen Hicks My attention was directed to this book by Jordan Peterson but I had first heard about ‘postmodernism’ listening to Ravi Zacharius on YouTube. Although Stephen is not shy letting the reader know what he thinks of Read more…

What a Turn Around!

Well, The last week has been like day and night compared to the last post. The kids blasted through the silver medal (10 hours) and Drew even is reading for fun! Once again I think the keys are good incentives and GOOD BOOKS. I am able to email the library Read more…

Summer Reading NOT Going as well as hoped.

Poetry Results are In!

Well, the poetry didn’t go over as well as I hoped it would. I guess the poems I picked were probably a little bit too much for their ages.  I just wanted to expose them, though, and even if they don’t ‘understand’ them (why does everything have to be understood?) Read more…

Making up some reading Lists for the kids and signing them up for our local Library’s Summer Reading Program

So with the help of Pizza Hut and the local library here in Puyallup I have started putting together some reading lists. The Puyallup Library has some really good incentives if the kids complete 15 hours of reading (Free books, Baseball Game, Zoo Passes) and I was able to sign Read more…
