Since moving from full-time counselor to full-time prof, I have come to understand what full-time profs do with all of their full time. Papers being the number one filler of the time. I have discovered that I do not like paper work anymore as a professor than I did when I disliked it as a counselor. That’s all.

It’s been awhile.

Re-reading Pilgrim’s Regress by C.S. Lewis and came across this:

“Hypothesis, my dear young friend, establishes itself by a cumulative process: or to use popular language, if you make the same guess often enough, it ceases to be a guess and becomes a Scientific Fact.”

This stated by Mr. Enlightenment to John the traveler who was looking for his Island (desire). I believe I could say this about a lot of theories but a regular reader will surmise that I might apply it to both reparative theory and to the direct biological theory of sexual attractions.

Easter meditations:

I’ve got my hand in redemption’s side
Whose scars are bigger than these doubts of mine.
I’ll fit all these monstrosities inside
And I’ll come alive.
-the beautiful letdown, Switchfoot, 2004

I’ve been in trouble but I’m ok,
Been through the wringer but I’m ok,
Walls are falling and I’m ok,
Under the mercy and I’m ok.
-humans, Bruce Cockburn, 1980

He is risen.

These pesky First Amendment guidelines about sexual orientation in the public schools just keep causing “trouble.” Here is a two-part series with a bit of a fuss between Chad Thompson/me and Linda Harvey. I wonder if anyone will ever implement them?

Southern Voice article on gender atypical preferences and sexual orientation. I haven’t read it closely as yet but it looked pretty balanced when I skimmed it.
