More Media
I spent another weekend at PRACS, where I partook of more popular culture via the media of film (DVDs) and print (books). Find out what I viewed and read. (I also visited with fellow coworkers and past students, several of whom were participating in studies this weekend, too. Every time I do a study, it's a reunion with some past student or another. I guess all of us college students need to make money for tuition somehow.)

hey mr. moberg! wow pracs sounds interesting...I actually want to do that when I turn 18, I could use the extra money. I was pretty sad you weren't at school today, I was pretty excited to do the handshake thing. Mrs. Moberg told me you were at some class or something.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm taking courses at UND to get my doctorate (a Ph.D. degree) so that, pretty soon, you'll be able to call me "Doctor Moberg"! So, today I was at a class. There's always tomorrow for the gangsta handshake, however!
ReplyDeletewell i want to learn this handshake.
ReplyDeletei'm sorry to do this again Mr. Moberg. that stupid verification code on the actual posting place hasn't changed.
ReplyDeleteHere's my quote.
(bottom of page 175, Dimmesdale speaking...)
"...that I must stand up in my pulpit, and meet so many eyes turned upward to my facem as if the light of heaven were beaming from i!-must see my flock hungry for the truth, and listening to my words as if a tongue of Pentecost were speaking!-and then look inward, and discern the black reality of what they idolize?"
I think that this quote right here shows how much Dimmesdale is really struggling with his sin. He hates the fact that he doesn't have the courage to come out and say that he has committed the worst sin of them all with the person everyone frowns and looks down upon. I think he wishes that he could believe all that he is speaking in his sermons, but won't forgive himself, even though God has.
