The Previously Unpublished Thoughts of Brownie the Explorer: April 2007
http://ibrownie.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
05 April, 2007. I grew up in a small town. Mt. Olive, Mississippi was a place where you could literally get to anyone’s home on foot or on a bike in a matter of minutes. Everyday when I came home, I returned to a place where meaningful human interaction was naturally present. As a friend of mine once told me, College was so great because whenever you wanted to go do something, you could just grab ‘the guys’ and go. It is easy to be lonely that first year out of college. With a world of greener grass ...

The Previously Unpublished Thoughts of Brownie the Explorer: February 2007
http://ibrownie.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
21 February, 2007. A movie for your consideration. I will not often use this blog as a place to promote a film, but today I have great reason to do so. Back in November, I was given the opportunity to do something I have never done before. Because of a connection the TFA has, we were able to prescreen a major motion picture. The film was Amazing Grace, and it is being produced by Walden Media, the same company that is making the Narnia films. In fact, I plan to go see it again this weekend, when it opens.

The Previously Unpublished Thoughts of Brownie the Explorer: December 2006
http://ibrownie.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
27 December, 2006. I like to tell stories. Writing about the Christmas tree fiasco was a lot of fun. Maybe I'll do more of that soon. And I think it has profoundly shaped me as a person. Being at Osprey Point has forced me to reconsider some of my blanket skepticism toward beauty and those who work to achieve/create it. This happened both on a purely practical level it’s hard to despise people who work to make things beautiful when you and your friends are those very people and on a more theoretical ...

The Previously Unpublished Thoughts of Brownie the Explorer: October 2006
http://ibrownie.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
14 October, 2006. Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind. It was relieving and freeing to self-disclose. Telling my life story was great, but better than that was hearing the stories of other fellows. I mentioned earlier the point we at the TFA have reached in our curriculum, and this is what I mean: Calvin said that knowledge of God and knowledge of humanity are dependent on each other. And, lo and behold, I have realized that Calvin was right. Last week’s post was a bit abstract....

The Previously Unpublished Thoughts of Brownie the Explorer: September 2006
http://ibrownie.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
11 September, 2006. Os set up his talk by putting into perspective the uniqueness of our present age in the context of human history. He listed many factors that make our period of time unprecedented, but the foremost was this: we in the West have greater choice than any human society before us has ever possessed. What does this mean? Then move there. Do you want to be a Buddhist? No one can say, so you are left alone in a noisy universe to decide who to be, and 2) even with all this power to be self-det...

The Previously Unpublished Thoughts of Brownie the Explorer: August 2006
http://ibrownie.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
22 August, 2006. That's Why I'm Here. Four years ago I left behind a group of friends for a new life at Furman University in South Carolina. During my first 9 months there, I published a humble online record of my activities which was then called a "freshman journal." Since that time, the term "blog" has entered the American vernacular, and I have realized in retrospect that, unbeknownst to me, I was acting as a pioneer blogger. Mentally preparing to be cold. How many ways. I have been blessed to receive...

The Previously Unpublished Thoughts of Brownie the Explorer: November 2006
http://ibrownie.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
28 November, 2006. Thanksgiving and New Testament Documents. And then a month of silence passed on Wendell’s blog. For those 3 or 4 of you who have been on the edge of your seat: sorry about that. Life at the Trinity Forum Academy suddenly got busy. Each time I post, I think to myself, well, I’ll just do that again in a week. And then a month of silence passes. Good intentions. Did he even claim to be? Is Jesus the only way to God? Was Jesus really resurrected from the dead? 2 The authors of the gospels ...

The Previously Unpublished Thoughts of Brownie the Explorer: January 2008
http://ibrownie.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
15 January, 2008. On Monday morning I launched a new website. As I mentioned in a previous post. I have been experimenting with ways to share my music with friends around the world, and I decided to use (drumroll please) The Internet. That led to the rather quick and undramatic creation of this new site- wendellk.com. I decided it was better to go ahead and take the plunge, register a URL, and try to set up a simple site that I can manage. Http:/ www.wendellk.com/. Posted by Wendell at 11:58 PM. I made t...
