For someone who fits this description, you will be missed. You have changed the way I think and have inspired others to do the same.

Monday's Quote of the Week: Christmas
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent Peale
Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time. ~Laura Ingalls Wilder
Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect. ~Oren Arnold

Tuesday: What I read
How can you convince me that you are a lifelong learner? This is a question one of my supervisors in Grad School once asked me, and then followed up our conversation with this is her favorite question to ask in interviews.
I miss school. There I said it. You must admit it is true for you too. No one is there to force you to get knowledge or to read. Though, shockingly enough I have a friend whose claim to fame is that he has never finished a novel. This pains me to think about.
I spend at least an hour of day browsing my favorite news sources for something that is interesting and informative. I plan on sharing these with you.
Yesterday, I read the following articles, which are related to each other.
Changing the Culture War by Ross Douthat via www.nytimes.com
We Need Marriage Like We Need Yachts by Laurie Essig via www.chronicle.com
Marriage is on the decline in the United States. (You would think this based on the number of weddings I have attended in the past 2 years) What are the social implications for this? Well, there are too many to name. Marriage has always been an essential part of the formula for achieving the American Dream. I highly recommend reading both of the articles. Culture shift ... I think so. No longer are the college educated the liberal thinkers and no longer are the high school educated the devout religious.
On a lighter note, after watching "Winter's Bone" this weekend; which star's Louisville-native Jennifer Lawrence, I have been reading all about the Golden Globe nominees.
Happy reading!
