This and That

~ I'm reading "Miracles," by C.S. Lewis. Here is a quote from what I read this morning:
"All possible knowledge, then, depends on the the validity of reasoning. If the feeling of certainty which we express by words, like must be and therefore and since is a real perception of how things outside our own minds really 'must' be, well and good.
But if this certainty is merely a feeling in our own minds and not a genuine insight into realities beyond them- if it merely represents the way our minds happen to work- then we can have no knowledge. Unless human reasoning is valid no science can be true."

~ I think it was very cruel of The Head Girl to go and get engaged, because now (according to the reasoning of most people) I'm "next". I was asked by a very dear elderly friend if there were any young men who came into the library that I was "interested in". :-P

~ I've started the bridesmaid dresses! One of our dinning room tables has been moved upstairs and is now taking a turn at being a cutting table :)


~ This Summer has been so full of many fun and interesting things: Singings, building of friendships (and not just with "friends", you can build stronger friendships with your family too!), getting used to the fact that we aren't going to be saying "Good-bye" to all the friends we've made and move States away, making dangerous and scary concoctions that blow up, learning ever more and more about God and His wonderful ways, ect. ect. ect. This list could go on and on :)

I am so blessed!
