Bullets and Burgers - Without getting into any gun control debates, I can't even believe there is a place like Bullets and Burgers, AND that they let 9 year old children shoot machine guns.
Dan Beerens tweeted this article from The Banner, The Case for Christian Schools. I thought it was quite good, especially the part below. I think WCS does a great job engaging the culture and providing direction, which is just one of the many reasons I love the school and the Christian Reformed views of the world belonging to God.
Some parents believe that sending their kids to a Christian school will protect them from these competing stories. But it will not. A Christian school that does not engage the culture in which students live does its children and parents a disservice. Rather, Christian schools are to equip students with the tools to identify and respond to the idols of our time.
I've also just finished reading Divergent and Insurgent. I started the series after watching the movie. Divergent was remarkably like the movie and I enjoyed it although it wasn't great because I already knew the plot. Insurgent was boring at first, but got better as I continued. Now I'm waiting for the third book to come in from the library. While I'm waiting, I'm starting The Invention of Wings. I've heard it is fabulous, but I didn't love The Secret Life of Bees, so we'll see.
Sam and I started watching the movie "Her" the other night but shut it off because it was awful on every level.
Lucy and I went to see The Giver on Sunday. It was excellent, and the ending didn't leave you hanging like the book does.
And I'm currently enjoying listening to 5 Seconds of Summer's "She Looks So Perfect". I know, I know...
And if you are looking for something to do, take thirty-three 3 oz. Dixie cups and see how tall of a tower you can build. The highest in my class was 68cm.
