sola gratia

yeah, like anyone knows what that means.  if you did then my hat is off to you and you have mastered a dead language.  the title of my blog is in latin, and it is a quote from Rene Descartes.  i think therefore i am.  simple enough. 

we talked about him last night in my intro to philosphy class.  he doubted everything that could be doubted and finally the only thing he had for "sure footing" was that very phrase.  i am sure i am thinking so i am sure that i exists and that is all i am sure of, except of course God.  yeah, that part kinda knocked me for a loop too.  you see old Rene submitted this paper to a French Divinity school.  so basically, the only thing our french friend trusted to be totally true was his existence and God. 

i haven't read the whole treatise yet, but it sure sparked my curiosity.  he was just a side note anyway.  the real topic was David Hume.  radical empericisim.  that thought is anothr blog, or maybe not.

next blog has to be a "things i think" it's been a long time and i enjoy writing those.  so until next time don't stop thinking otherwise you may not exist.  if Rene was right at least. 

well it's fairly simple, not around here much.  life and starting college have left me with little time to blog much.  i thought i would take a few minutes before school tonight and update anyone who might be interested.  so here are some updates:

i still work for the evil empire (Wal-Mart)

i still think about and pray for my blogging buddies

bye for now
