THINKING-FEELING-WILLING

So, I'm reading these articles on the functions of the heart (thinking, feeling, and willing) by Bob Saucy, Jonathan Edwards, and Robert Roberts. The has stepped on my little toes regarding the connection between what we think about, the emotions resulting from that thinking, and the willing that takes place in response. Then today, I find a couple pointy quotes on Connexion

"You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you."
~James Lane Allen


"We become what we think about all day long." ~Unknown

Hmmm... is Someone saying something???

JUST AN OBSERVATION...

I couldn't help noticing that none of these Pets' Costumes are for cats.

I'm thinking, "Wise choice."

ANOTHER WNBA SEASON COME AND GONE...

It is done. A new team won. It was probably a great game. I missed it. Bummer.

DEATH OF ICONS

Jacques Derrida
Jacques Derrida, one of France's most famous philosophers, has died at the age of 74.

Superman actor Reeve
Christopher Reeve, the actor who played Superman, has died at the age of 52.

Comedian Rodney Dangerfield
Actor Rodney Dangerfield, famous for his self-deprecating humor, died Tuesday at 82.


I'm not necessarily sad about any of these, I mean, two were old and one was sick. Stuff happens. But I find it interesting that Reeve is getting the most press, Dangerfield is probably second, and most people don't even know who Derrida is, even though he may have had the most cultural impact of the three.
