THE BRILLIANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE
My son has posted a brilliant discussion on Biblical Literalism. Take a few moments and read it:

I know he’s sick of it, but I’ve got to take a few minutes and brag on him. He enrolled at Baylor four years ago and started in an honors program called BIC (Baylor Interdisciplinary Core). He was told by the administration that the program was designed so that it was basically impossible to get through it with a 4.0 GPA. Well, don’t ever tell Jordan that he can’t do something, because he finished the program with a 4.0 GPA and will graduate Summa Cum Laude in the spring. He has applied for a fellowship at Columbia in the Ph.D. program in Social/Personality Psychology, so wish him luck as his application in considered.
I also have to brag on my lovely wife. She went back to school this last fall to begin work on a Master’s Degree and finished this semester with a 4.0 herself.
I’m surrounded by brilliant people! Oh…wait a minute…I’m writing this at work, and based on the folks I can see out of my office window, I’ll have to retract that last statement.

You sure have alot to be proud of…you are one lucky guy!
Wow! Congratulations! I went back to school this fall too — didn’t quite get the 4.0 I hoped for; French got me. What is your wife studying? I finally settled on a goal of earning a Master’s in social work. I wish your son luck in his graduate applications. I love social/personality psychology — I wish I was young and/or unencumbered so I could do research in that field.
I read Jordan’s post yesterday. You’re right, he is brilliant! I know that you’re extremely proud of him! Congrats to your wife too!
I told Jordon he didn’t need any luck w/Columbia – he’s an insightful and brilliant person – he helped me survive two semesters of a discussion class with not always insightful/brilliant people.
