Gödel, Escher, Bach:
2008-05-16 14:49:00 an Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter This is a pretty good book. It does a great job of “continuing” from where my St. John’s liberal education left off into the 20th century. The author’s style is well-suited for introducing extremely complicated ideas in the most copacetic way possible. However, what the book promises, it does not deliver. ...

On Rejection
2008-05-13 23:51:00 or Ration vs. Emotion I have lived a very sheltered life, I haven’t experienced much tragedy. Just remember that, because I want to keep this in the proper perspective.

Fire From Heaven

Help Dwight Spread the Gospel in Holland
2008-04-30 17:57:00 I have an awesome opportunity to go over to Delft, Holland this July and participate in a city-wide servant evangelism effort. Our group from Grace Church will be teaming up with our sister church Levend Water (Living Water) to reach the Voorhof neighborhood with acts of kindness such as cleaning the streets, removing graffiti, helping the homeless, and assisting the elderly residents with whatever they need. My church has been extremely generous, and this whole two-week trip is going to cost me less than the price of a plane ticket to Holland. I only need to raise $800 in support in order to pay for this trip. If you are interested in helping me with that cost, email me at dwightk@gmail.com for details. Other ways you can support me include prayer for God to reach the people in this neighborhood through this trip, and if you have a website, you can put this image somewhere on the site, linking back to this post: (just copy the text from the box and paste it on your site) Total Su...
