Allen's Blog
Andy's Blog
Been reading lots of books lately. Started several while on break after Christmas, and I am keeping the momentum.
One to suggest to you.
The Water is Wide by Pat Conroy.
I actually picked this up at the suggestion of my nemesis, Erik. Conroy is best known for Prince of Tides, Lords of Discipline, and The Great Santini, among others.
But this work is one of his earliest pieces. After college in the 1960's, Conroy taught school and spent one year in the remarkable setting of Daufuskie Island off the coast of South Carolina. A remote, lightly inhabited island where many of the residents still spoke Gullah. This book provides a fictionalized account of his experiences on "Yamacraw Island."
In typical Conroy fashion, his work with the islanders proved much more positive than his interaction with the educrats of South Carolina. Amazing stories of work in a one-room school with students possessing an entirely different view of life and the world.
A very interesting piece of fiction. Not Conroy's best - he grew in prowess from this beginning. But still an excellent read.

Fried squash for lunch today. Hello old friend. It has been too long.
Description
The Allen Hunt Show is about faith and life, plain and simple. According to a Gallup Poll in May of 2005, 85% of Americans consider their faith important or fairly important to their lives. Yet there is a gap on the talk radio airwaves that examines where faith and life come together. This show fills that gap like nothing currently on the radio. This is not one more political talk show, nor is it another faith-based counseling show because ultimately, life is not about what is right or left, but about what is right and wrong. The Allen Hunt Show takes on real life issues, with real life people, to see how faith can have a real impact. Join us on Saturdays from 9-12 PM and Sundays from 6-9 PM. Blessings!

Complete indictment of God and illustration of everything that is wrong with the world in one sentence. Amazing.
Maybe I should read me some Pat Conroy.
