T...<b>Jenna</b>, I am humbled by your reaction to my post. Thank you for drawing upon it here! <br /><br />This is a great post, for many reasons. But, my favorite line is: <br /><br />"If I've done my job right, however, it will take anyone who comes searching along a trajectory of love, with glimpses of glory."<br /><br />This, my friend, makes me want to read your novel, badly! And, if you wrote in search of these things, so that in turn the reader could read in search of the same... that is a very blessed partnership to enter into, with your reader. I hope someday to count myself one. :)Donna Witekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609991179829134157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-59055919058645970322010-07-28T19:27:07.074-07:002010-07-28T19:27:07.074-07:00Thanks, George.

I resonate with a lot of post modern concerns but really feel out of place otherwise. Maybe it's because, as Lewis says, I've read all the wrong sorts of books, that is to say, I've read all the right sorts of books. :)Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501327753737422337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22927650.post-58525822920994400122010-07-27T21:43:07.092-07:002010-07-27T21:43:07.092-07:00I didn't know you were homeschooled!

Despite my claims to feeling out of step with the times, I do identify in some ways--an idealistic sense of compassion, for instance.<br /><br />Glad you liked the post!

In the interest ...Brilliant, beautiful post, Jenna. In the interest of honesty, I was homeschooled in Mayberry, Wisconsin--a conservative white kid with a handful of conservative white friends, in a proudly conservative county. I grew up and went to small conservative college, and discovered that Starbucks is pretty near the center of the world. The Place to be.<br /><br />I guess things do change, for good or ill.<br /><br />Our generation seems very idealistic, and largely uncritical--regardless of political affiliation. Perhaps it was a mistake to say I've also learned 'with them'--perhaps as a generation we've not learned these things.<br /><br />Those are some of the tensions I was trying to bring out in this post. Sure, I identify, but I've never really felt a 'part' of things, if you know what I mean. Not saying that's a bad thing, just saying.<br /><br />I still like Starbucks, though. :)Mr Pondhttp://mrpond47.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
