This is an email that Stacie wrote about our Tuesday discussion group, I thought ya’ll might enjoy it.
Philosophical Musings
Dear fellow
agnostics,
To my intense
disgust, the apologist, John MacArthur, is allowing his most recent
book, Think Biblically! to
be used as college curricula in a private college! For this, there
can be no apology! He postulates that the antiquated, documents of a
primitive Palestinian tribe is sufficient for life and knowledge in
the 21 st century! His basis for this ludicrous belief is
founded in the “natural” and “special” revelation of the
divine.
Of course, he got it right when he quoted Descartes’ “Cogito,
ergo sum” (I think, therefore I am) as being foundational in
our movement. It places human reasoning at the center, with all
other truths revolving around it. And, we must not forget that it
promoted Doubt as one of our highest intellectual values. At all
costs, solid truth must never be espoused.
Although the book recognizes our order, it has the audacity to doubt
the Doubters and make a stand for Truth! This must be dealt with
before these helpless students are brainwashed! Perhaps a friendly
letter to your nearest ACLU representative would be in order. We
have a noble cause worth fighting for: Doubt, without the suppression
of truth!
Keep up the good work,
N.O.T. Thinking (Therefore, I am not)
Next weeks Philosophical Musings issue includes my new poem, Ode to
Doubt. Don’t miss it.

Yay! Right now we’re conferenced on the phone with my dad in his car,
my family at the house and Lori in Chicago, isn’t that cool?
Dad – “what is your opinion on LCD screens, how well they work and how they last?
Amy – “what”?
Stacie – “we don’t know what that is”
Brian (the techno brother) “snicker”
Dad – “it’s a skinny screen for your computer”
Brian then proceeds to explain the various aspects and workings of LCD.
Why does dad even bother asking us?

Guess what, I got down to lunch and Dr. Castilino comes up and tells me that
the tests are in. So I took them both this afternoon. It took me about
three hours total.
Being Dantes I don’t know how I did, but God be praised, my brain
didn’t fuzz out on the second test and my speech topic was one that I
had some prior knowledge on. God gave me a nice little outline
complete with an example that touched all three points. I didn’t give
it as well as I wanted, I think I sounded pretty nervous, but at least
I had an idea of what I wanted to say. I feel very relieved now that
it’s all over, and provided I pass, I’ll never have to go back into the
testing center again!

Well my tests haven’t come in yet, so I still haven’t taken them. It’s kind of nerve-wracking 
just waiting and not knowing when I’ll be called up to take them. I did
get to talk to mom on the phone last night as I was going over speech
topics and she helped me with lots of info and ideas, she’s so smart
and keeps herself informed with current events!
Also a wave of homesickness has come over me. 
I don’t know why except maybe because I’ve only been home for two weeks
since Feb. Rather than flounder in the surf, I need God’s grace to get
up on my “board” and ride this wave out, all the way to the end.
