League of Inveterate Poets

Thanks, Brandon. Your second paragraph is exactly what I'm after.

I'd welcome seeing any new blog by you. Let me know if you pull the trigger.

I like the concept Mark. I think this is a more creative and probably rewarding (i.e. less controversial) blog idea for you.

Reader-response Criticism is always an interesting thing to explore. Whether it's a line or a book, all reading is recontextualized. The beauty of it is, we contribute to the meaning and writing of texts---including texts like the Bible---and this keeps reading fresh and tells us something about ourselves.

I've had a idea for starting a blog based on a favorite Lewis text of mine (and no, I don't mean the Narnian Chronicles, though they are THE favorite), but I've been reluctant for some time now (in large part due to last year's Westminster fiasco). I might have to reconsider.

Done!

Invetebrates it is. And yes, you do! (See the spine?)

How about we split the difference: Invetebrates

This reminds me (for some reason) that I need to add you to the blogroll here.

Does that make us Leaguers? Inveterates? Invertebrates? No, that can't be right -- no one has accused me of being spineless lately. Anyway, I've been writing fiction all day, so I'm certain my imagination is awake.

Mindy,

Many people have called me Foolish. I thought they were just being chummy and using my first name. Then I realized that they were using an adjective, not a proper noun. ;-)

And I automatically declare you and Brandon charter members of the League of Inveterate Poets--because you already have been for a long time.

You'll always be the foolish sage to me, but love the new name!!
