General Sayings of the Day
"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya; you killed my father. Prepare to die."
I've got skills. My cousin Roran and I... we've trained... with SWORDS."
"That's intense."
I've got skills. My cousin Roran and I... we've trained... with SWORDS."
"That's intense."
Twu Love or Great Thoughts
"I love you... My mind begs you to ask it something so it can obey. Do you want me to follow you all the rest of your days? I will do that. Do you want me to crawl? I will crawl. I will be quiet for you or sing for you, or if you are hungry, let me bring you food, or if you have thirst and nothing will quench it but Arabian wine, I will go to Araby, even though it is across the world, and bring a bottle back for your lunch. Anything there is that I can do for you, I will do; anything that there is that I cannot do, I will learn to do."
"There is great opportunity in America. I'm going to take advantage of it. I have been training myself. In my hovel. I've taught myself not to need sleep. A few hours only. I'll take a ten-hour-a-day job and then I'll take another ten-hour-a-day job and I will save every penny from both except what I need to eat to keep strong, and when I have enough I'll buy a farm and build a house and make a bed big enough for two... I have stayed these years in my hovel because of you. I have taught myself languages because of you. I have made my body strong because I thought you might be pleased by a strong body." - The Princess Bride
Some of these words of love are a bit far fetched. Traveling to Arabia before lunch? Needing only 4 hours of sleep? But the sacrifice of true (or twu) love rings true in these words. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..."

Northanger Abbey/JA Club
Last Sunday evening, the JA Club met again and watched Northanger Abbey. I finally got a group picture...
What a blessing from God to have such great friends! I can't wait to watch Mansfield Park with them. :)Tuesday, January 22, 2008
Fantasy - from Childhood to Adulthood
My parents have read to me since I was a little girl. My father, especially, would pick a book and read it to my brother and me every evening for several months. These fantasy stories became foundational for me. They are the stories that I remember; the stories I cherish; the stories I will read to my children someday. With characters like Lucy to Frodo, I grew up into the woman I am today.
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis was my father’s first choice. I journeyed through the wardrobe to Narnia with Lucy, felt doubt with Caspian, traveled the high seas with Reepicheep, rescued Prince Rilian with Jill and Eustace, watched Shasta become a prince, marveled at Narnia’s birth with Digory, and cried at Narnia’s end in The Last Battle. (in that order. :P) C.S. Lewis still inspires me with child-like joy at his great faith that shines through all his simple children’s stories.
After The Chronicles of Narnia, my father embarked us on another expedition. This was not to Narnia, but to the Lonely Mountain. Long was my journey with Bilbo Baggins in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. I cried when it was over, but I have traveled the Misty Mountains, traded riddles with Gollum, followed the paths of Mirkwood (until we left it!) many times since that first reading with my father. Only, my father’s trip for us didn’t end there.
The Lord of the Rings is arguably my favorite piece of fantasy. I will admit that as an adolescent that the first book was rather slow, but the Council of Elrond sent me with speed on the long road to Mount Doom, and I never looked back. Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromir, Legolas, and Gimli were my constant companions. But not only them, for all the characters of Middle Earth became as close to me as family. I felt the struggle of the ring with Frodo, fought Shelob with Sam, stabbed the Witch King with Merry, went to the gates of Mordor with Pippin, watched Gandalf fall to the Balrog (and come to life again), saw Aragorn go from Strider to a King of Gondor, saw myself in Boromir, and searched for captive hobbits with Legolas and Gimli. This epic has inspired my teenage years in more ways than can be counted. J.R.R. Tolkien may not have intended LOTR as a Christian story, but his faith still seeps through it in many ways.
But after these stories were read, my love for fantasy only grew. I finally plunged into the rich depths of Tolkien’s The Silmarillion -- with The Complete Guide to Middle Earth for help. I grew with Harry Potter into the wizard who would save his friends. I felt his sorrow at his parent’s death, the rush of playing quidditch, the joy of his having friends. I watched him battle Voldemort, rescue a friend’s sister while killing the Basilisk, save an innocent man’s life, win the Triwizard Tournament Cup at great cost, grieve over a loved one’s death, try to find the horcruxes, and finally die for his friends. Harry Potter’s stories by J.K. Rowling became very dear to me. She established her characters with strengths and weakness, but also she gave me an unlikely hero that I could believe in and hope for.
Until recently , I had not been reading very much fantasy. But last year for my brother’s birthday, he was given The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander. After he had finished reading, I started an adventure with Taran, an a Assistant Pig Keeper. This adventure has now ended. I rode with Taran all across Prydain and watched him become a man. I saw him fight the Horned King, find the Black Cauldron, race to find Elionwy, struggle about his birth, and finally find where he belongs.
I started my travels through fantasy with a children’s story, and at this point (until another story comes along) have finished with a children’s story. From Lucy to Taran, my wanderings are full. Amidst all of these stories, I have become who I am today. Without a single one of them, I would be different. Stories that we read or have been read to us are not simply “stories;” they are legends that affect us and our worldview. I am so glad that my father chose fantasy for his child. These are stories that I will always cherish. I pray that my children will love them as much as I do.

On the Subject of "Blockbuster"
"It really is fun being a local Blockbuster."I am known by all my friends for being a lover of period films. I adore them! But as that fact became more widely known, I became the local "blockbuster." I recommend, share, and update my library of DVD's as often as I can.
Therefore, when Mrs. Berry wanted to have a ladies' night, she came and asked me to pick some movies for us all to watch. I decided on two of my shorter favorites: A&E's Emma and Under the Greenwood Tree. Both of these movies are delightful in their own unique ways. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. And I think the ladies now love them too!

Middlemarch
Do any of you have a book sitting on your self that you’ve had for years, but you’ve never read it? Maybe you’ve started it; however, you just can’t seem to finish it (Or maybe even reach the halfway point.) Such is the case for me in Middlemarch by George Elliot. I was told by some that if I got past the first hundred pages, that I could finish it with no problems. That, sadly, was not true.
Luckily for me, I found out there is a Masterpiece Theater adaptation that is quite good. Very recently, I was informed that Barnes & Noble has an excellent selection of period pieces. After shopping there yesterday, what did I find but a copy of Middlemarch. (I think B&N has become my one stop shop for DVD’s!)
Last night, I started viewing this extensive story -- 7 hours! The story begins with a certain Dr. Lydgate who has come to the town of (you guessed it!) Middlemarch with the intention of making it the medical capital of England. But his story is not the only one… Dorothea Brooke, affectionately called Dodo, is one of the resident's of Middlemarch. She wishes to do something great with her life. Recognizing the blessings she possesses, Dodo wants to share them with others. Her sister Celia and Uncle Brooke cannot understand her plans. Especially when she will not marry Sir James Chettam, but chooses instead to accept the marriage proposal of the supposedly brilliant (and decidedly old) Rev. Casaubon. Believing she would make a perfect help-meet for the gentleman, Dorothea plans how she will read to him, copy his notebooks, and generally help his calling. For the wedding journey, the couple travels to Rome, where Dorothea realizes that Rev. Casaubon does not expect her to use her gifts, but merely to be an ornament -- even one Casaubon will do nothing with. Still, Dorothea hopes to do something good with her life. While in Rome, Dorothea meets a Mr. Will Ladislaw -- the cousin of Rev. Casaubon. Will is poor because of a family injustice that Casaubon has never fully righted (and will not hear of righting) A friendship is quickly struck between Dorothea and Will (in regards to protecting Casaubon), but Casaubon is jealous and mistrusts his good cousin's intentions. After their return to Middlemarch, Casaubon refuses to let his cousin in the house. Will does like Dorothea, but has no bad intentions. He merely wishes to have independence -- something hard to come by in his poor situation. However, Casaubon dies shortly later, but not without a sting in his will -- Dorothea will lose everything if she marries Mr. Ladislaw.
But still this is not the whole of the story-- a Mr. Featherstone plans to give his nephew Fred Vincy 10,000 pounds upon his death. Being a man of terrible gambling debts, Fred needs the money to wed Mary Garth. But Mary will not have him unless he can make something decent and good of himself. Rosamund Vincy, Fred's sister, hopes to catch the eye of the new doctor, Lydgate. But, while he carries on a flirtation with her, he never seriously thinks of her.
These are the main stories, but it would not be Middlemarch without mentioning: Mr. Brooke’s run for Parliament, the pharisaical Mr. Bulstrode who owns half the town but has a dark history, and the Rev. Farebrother who is controversial figure and a rival suitor for Mary Garth’s hand. There is more than one union that brings to mind the old adage “marry in haste, repent at leisure.” The varied personalities of the townspeople also provide a rich colorful background for this masterpiece.
If there is one thing I would change about this adaptation, I would make the viewer understand Will and Dorothea’s relationship better. The viewer often feels that they should like each other, but it not quite sure why… I should mention this one caution though, my mother did not enjoy this story , and she was concerned whether justice was served in the end. I say this a disclosure only for I enjoyed the story very much. I would not hesitate to recommend this mini series to those who love period pieces. It is a long watching, but the story is worth the perseverance. This should spur me on to read the book!

WIFD --- Again
Day 4Some of you who read this blog cannot see all the lovely ladies in feminine dress, therefore I have decided to share some of my WIFD pictures with all of you...
Courtship Thoughts
While rereading part of Her Hand in Marriage by Doug Wilson, I was struck by one of his remarks. Quite funny, but it was also very profound considering of culture's dating mentality. After that short introduction, I'll let his words speak for themselves....
"Objections to this assessment of the modern dating system may tend to come rather easily. Why can we not point to the successes, the happy endings in the modern dating system... The success stories within the modern recreational dating system, which certainly exist, are not the problem with it... The criticism is directed against the system generally considered as a system. People survive plane crashes too, some of them without a scratch, and we should all be happy about it. But this acknowledgement does not disqualify us from opposing the general habit of crashing airplanes." (Her Hand in Marriage, p.9-10) -- Emphasis mine.

A Week in Feminine Dress
The ladies on the Sense and Sensibility message board have come up with a wonderful way to show femininity. A week of dressing as femininely as possible. A Week in Feminine Dress--otherwise known as WIFD. Before when I would see this topic, I didn't care... I had to wear jeans (because of school). However, this week I was inspired. I have kept up with the ladies for 3 days. And I am so glad I did, this is a wonderful way to celebrate that God made men and women different, and we should not try to hide our differences by the way we dress.
Kudos to the S&S board!

Fiesta Bowl
Okay! I promise this is my last post... maybe...
Huzzah! The Mountaineer football team has shown the world (including Rod!) that they are a great team with a lot of spirit. It was a great game. 48 to 28 Mountaineers over Oklahoma. Kudos to Owen Schmitt and all the seniors for playing well.
Also --- Congratulations to Bill Stewart! The new head coach of the Mountaineers. All the fans eagerly await next season.
Me... close to the end of the game
Happy Birthday, Brother!
Daniel turned seventeen on January 2nd, 2008. It was a special day.... ending with Daniel opening gifts from his family.
Happy Birthday, Goob!
New Years!
Wow! 2007 has flown by and God has brought a New Year. This year, my family celebrated the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008 with friends at the church. We played games, enjoyed a meal, and fellowshipped (sp?) for several hours. 
Daniel and Jake
Dee
Nate and Chris
When we were done, we hopped into the car and drove to the Freeland's home in Fairmont, WV. There we ate (again!), fellowshipped (sp?), and played (Well, Daniel and I did) video games for several hours before celebrating the NEW YEAR! It is 2008. :)
Daniel and Jake
Dee
Nate and Chris
Finally... Christmas!
I finally have an Internet connection on my new PC... therefore, without further ado:
Christmas!
My parents gave me this lovely WVU hat after the Christmas Eve Service.
Christmas day was full of fellowship and movies. Again this year, we watched family films after a big Christmas lunch. I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas as well. Never forget the real reason we celebrate; Christ the Savior came and suffered this world that He might redeem His people.
"For unto us a son is born,
For unto a child is given.
He shall be called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God, Prince of Peace."
