		<title>Pause</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been slow on my posting lately as I prepare for my MA exit exam.  I must translate the concluding myth from the Phaedo from Greek into Latin then write a commentary in Latin.  Needless to say, I have plenty to keep me busy.  Soon enough, though, expect some meditations on the Imitation of Christ.

		<title>Life as Book</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man  dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a  better language, and every chapter must be so translated. God  employs several translators: some pieces are translated by age, some  by sickness, some by war, some by justice. [...]]]></description>

		<title>thlipsis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some time, my favorite word to study has been the Greek word thlipsis. It has a broad range of meanings and applications. It literally means &#8220;pressure,&#8221; and is often translated &#8220;tribulation&#8221; in the New Testament, but a few cases it refers to the &#8220;anguish&#8221; of childbirth. In verbal form it can mean &#8220;to squeeze&#8221; or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Those that do not Want God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;One should seriously inquire if to live in a world permeated with God  and the knowledge of God is something they themselves truly desire. If  not, they can be assured that God will excuse them from his presence.  They will find their place in the &#8220;outer darkness&#8221; of which Jesus spoke.  But the fundamental fact [...]]]></description>

		<title>Self-life and God-Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Whereas the primal relationship   of man to man is a giving one, in the state of sin it is purely demanding.   Every man exists in a state of complete voluntary isolation; each man  lives his own life, instead of all living the same God-life.&#8221;
From The Communion of Saints, by Dietrich [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our Good Reasons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;So blindly do we all rush in the direction of self-love, that every one  thinks he has a good reason for exalting himself and despising all others in  comparison.&#8221;
-From Institutes of the Christian Religion, by John Calvin.
How easily would I take these words of Calvin and bring them to my neighbor and say to him, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Abortion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The philosophy of living with an underlying motive of doing  everything for one&#8217;s own personal peace and comfort rapidly colors  everything that might formerly have come under the headings of  &#8220;right&#8221; and &#8220;wrong.&#8221;  This new way of thinking adds entirely new  shades, often in blurring brushstrokes of paint that wipe out the  existence of standards [...]]]></description>

		<title>Denial</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;In a world apart from God, the power of denial is absolutely essential if  life is to proceed. The will or spirit cannot-psychologically cannot-sustain  itself for any length of time in the face of what it clearly acknowledges to be  the case. Therefore it must deny and evade and delude itself.&#8221;

		<title>No Mere Mortals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you  talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption   such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare&#8230;.  There are no ordinary people. You [...]]]></description>
