![]() ![]() ![]() Gurney grew up in Hazard, Ketucky, which is only about an hour’s drive up the river toward Virginia from my hometown of Paintsville. (This is the point where you are supposed to feel sorry for the old feller) So I was not very good company when Gurney and I had lunch together one day and talked about growing up in Eastern Kentucky. ![]() Instead, I stayed in my room coughing so much I thought I would die. I was sicker than a dog with some terrible lung infection that made me cough so much that I had to turn down an invitation to sit at Edna O’Brien’s table at the conference banquet. Gurney was there to talk about his experience as a student of Frank O’Connor when he was a Stegner Fellow at Stanford, while I was there to talk about O’Connor’s theory of the short story in his wonderful little book The Lonely Voice I have known Gurney’s work for years, but had never met him until last June when we both wound up as speakers at the International Short Story Conference in Cork. in lit from University of Kentucky, just sent me an email with the good news that Gurney Norman has been appointed Poet Laureate of Kentucky. ![]() Jeff Birkenstein, one of my students from years back who got his Ph.D. ![]()

In the Old Testament KJV, NKJV and ESV (and several others too) the LORD is always written in capitals, referring to the Lord God Almighty, not the Lord Jesus Christ. ![]() To end up in the Messianic line ~ wow! God redeemed her in a powerful way! While knew all this before, this story brought it out in a vivid way that really spoke to me afresh. I really liked how her faith was portrayed and how she held fast against all the odds, and how she dared to reach out to the God of Israel, despite her past, and because of that she became a woman with a great future. Not so with this retelling of the story of Rahab from the book of Joshua. The book of Ruth is my favourite story from the Bible, but while I liked some aspects of the author's retelling of that story, there were others that I just didn't. ![]() This is definitely my favourite retelling of this series by Francine Rivers. ![]() ![]() The Choephori, or The Libation Bearers: Exodos (Lines 971-1074).The Choephori, or The Libation Bearers: Fourth Stasimon (Lines 934-970).The Choephori, or The Libation Bearers: Fourth Episode (Lines 837-933).The Choephori, or The Libation Bearers: Third Stasimon (Lines 779-836).The Choephori, or The Libation Bearers: Third Episode (Lines 649-778).The Choephori, or The Libation Bearers: Second Stasimon (Lines 583-648).The Choephori, or The Libation Bearers: Second Episode (Lines 477-582).The Choephori, or The Libation Bearers: First Stasimon (Lines 305-476). ![]()
![]() ![]() We can make our own baseball field in the classroom, but make it to where each base represents a different subject and the student has to answer the question correctly to advance to the next base. I think it is good for boys to learn that girls can play all the sports a boy can and I think it is good for the girls to realize the same thing. ![]() This is a cute book for children that are just getting into that sports stage. Soon the players showed up at her house to retrieve their bases back from Amelia Bedelia. Amelia Bedelias score caused them the win the game. So she picks up home plate and does just that, runs all the way home. The team is yelling for her to run home so she can get a point. She hits it so hard that she can run around all the bases picking each one up on her way. One team is down in the final inning and Amelia Bedelia is up to bat. She tries to place a clothing tag on a player when they tell her to tag him and she also takes all the bases with her when she runs around the field because she had learned it was okay to steal bases. Once the game starts the boys realize all the commotion that Amelia Bedelia is stirring up. While she is there she stops to bake cookies for the empty cookie jar, then heads back to the field. She heads home to find a uniform before the big game. Show More be the extra player and she agrees even though she knows little about the game. ![]() |
