Sister Kim Ok-sun's Holy Fire: Don't worry
 
​“We believe that Christ rose again the third day and ascended into heaven; or we accept the far more incredible hypothesis that 'there is no God'; or, anyway, the God of Revelation, in his adorable Personality, has ceased to be for us. There is no middle way.”                                                         
                                                     * 

    “Faith is, then, the simple trust of person in Person.”
 
                                                    * 
​
“We are inclined to make our religious aims subjective rather than objective. We are tempted to look upon Christianity as a scheme of salvation designed and carried out for our benefit; whereas the very essence of Christianity is passionate devotion to an altogether adorable Person.”                                    
                                                       
                                                     *
 
 “Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.”
                                                                             
                                                    ~ G. K. Chesterton
                                                                        
                                                     *
                               
                           “Gentlemen, this is a football.”
                                                                             
                                                    ~ Vince  Lombardi 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
Examen: Good educational design answers two questions: “Who is education for?” and “What is education for? Charlotte Mason has spent her life answering these questions from her robust Christianity:  Education is for the “children’s sake,” and its project is a clear sightline to the Adorable Person. How do I answer them?


~~~~~~~
We believe that Christ: Charlotte Mason, Parents and Children, 2:99.
Faith is, then,: 2:135.
We are inclined: Charlotte Mason, School Education, 3:145.
Let your religion be: G. K. Chesterton, Saint Francis of Assisi, ed. Chesterton Books (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2011).
Gentlemen, this is: James Clear, “Vince Lombardi on the Hidden Power of Mastering the Fundamentals,” James Clear (blog), January 30, 2015, 
Who is education for: April 6 and 2023, “Replacing Bad Systems with Bad Systems,” Seth’s Blog, April 6, 2023,

I just came across the 100 Days a couple of weeks ago while looking at timeline things. It has come to mind a few times since and i happened (coincidence? i think not.) back across the page (in one of my open tabs) today. Looking forward to intentionally keeping for a few months! Poetry and C.S. Lewis and Charlotte Mason are on the list.

    "Thus, I propose that the middle of February remind CM admirers
    ​everywhere to prepare to celebrate "the science of relations" with

    ​One Hundred Days of Keeping -- notebooks that is."

    One Hundred Days
    Then swing your window open,
    the one with the fresh air
    and good eastern light,

    and watch for wings, edges,
    new beginnings.
