ATLANTIS QUESTION FROM A RELATIVE: I saw the movie Journey to the Center of Earth. I thought it was based on the book, and I had read the book. I remember liking the book, but the movie was way different from the book. But anyway, in the end of the movie, the uncle gives his nephew a book, and the title said, "The Lost Island of Atlantis." I like reading classics and it is bugging me not being able to find that book. There's so many books with Atlantis in it, but I don't know who was the writer. I knew Plato wrote the original story, but isn't there a story where they had people swim underwater and find it? Maybe that was the Disney version.
Do you know anything about "The Lost Island of Atlantis?"
THOR’S ANSWER: I don't think there is such a book. I think the movie writers were just setting themselves up for a sequel. I know of no classic stories about Atlantis. Plato mentioned the lost island about 2,500 years ago. People have been speculating about it and making stories up about it since the Renaissance when Plato's writings were "re-discovered." Plato didn't really say much about it. Apparently it was already an ancient myth or legend at Plato's time.
I have read several books where people made up stories about Atlantis. None of the books were very good.
If you are curious to know more about Atlantis http://www.logoi.com/notes/atlantis.html might be a good place to start.
I don't know why movie script writer's feel so free to call a movie by a book title and then make up an entirely different story, but they do it all the time. Occasionally the movie is better than the book, but usually not. Disney's version of Pollyanna, for instance, is way better than the book. The War of the World's movie made in the 1950's is way better than the book. But like I say, usually the book is better.

I find that I enjoy going back and looking at my previous blog entries. The old memory is not what it used to be and this blog serves as an adjunct memory. Actually the memory never was all that good, but I used to believe it was. Anyway, if I'm going to have any thing to look back on, I guess I better make some entries here.
My wife and I just got back from a mini-vacation. We holed up in the Montgomery Bell State Park Inn for three days and two nights. my wife caught up a little on her reading and I caught up a little on my sleep. We came back refreshed. We really had not had a break since Easter 2008 when we visited our son in Tacoma.
My local grand daughter had some minor oral surgery today. It went well, praise God.
Tonight I'm preaching a sermon called "Pride Parade." Pride goeth before the fall. It is a very short parade and does not last very long.
The queue of unanswered lessons at http://www.biblestudybymail.com continues to grow. Lately we have been getting about 15 lessons per day and answering about ten per day. That will never work. We are praying about it, but not worrying about it, or at least, trying not to worry about it. The ministry belongs to God. He'll do what He likes with it.
This blog has been very inactive for most of this year and completely inactive since May. I am curious to find out if anybody ever figures out I'm posting to it again. Let me know if you do.
-----------------------------------
Saturday, May 9, 2009
It appears I do no have time to blog any more. I am overwhelmed with ministry work. If you would like to see me blogging again, please help us. I need prayer, teachers, editors, reviewers, artists, web site developers, and people to recruit some of these.
I do publish a weekly ministry report, and a weekly prayer list. If you would like to receive those let me know.

Dragons I have posted some illustrations of the dragon story done by my grandchildren. (See http://www.tntcarden.com/logic Click the link that says "Some of my grand children have contributed illustrations here." I would very much like to add more of these.
I have also posted some map information. Click the link that says "G'Ma is working on a map. It is a work of progress here."

Are you tired of your snobbish friends talking about their heritage? We'll make
up an authentic looking genealogy for your going back to your choice of famous
historical figure. Give us a list of your real ancestors as far as you know
them, and we'll fictionalize the rest. We charge according to the number of

based on the criteria you give us. Specify any requirements at all as long as
they are unreal and unrealistic.

If you buy this I will promise not to kill anyone on purpose, especially you.

nightmares.) I promise I will look at your picture right before I fall asleep.
If I happen to remember the dream, I'll tell you about it, for a slight
surcharge.
PLANET FOR SALE
After my recent alien abduction they admitted to me that they had mistakenly

comes with schedule, description of accommodations, and directions on preparing
yourself for cryogenic sleep.

lottery for places on the outgoing ships awards me a place instead of you, I
will give you my seat if you will pre-buy it now.
SITTING SERVICE FOR IMAGINARY FRIENDS
Does your child have an annoying imaginary friend that ruins family outings and
other social occasions? Send the friend to us, via e-mail, with any special
care instructions. For an extra fee we will “accidentally” lose the friend so
that you will not be bothered by them again.
SLAVE STONES
You have heard of Pet Rocks? Well, we have Slave Stones. These genuine
Tennessee pebbles are much more intelligent than Pet Rocks. They will do
anything they are instructed to do (as long as it is not illegal and is within
the ability of a rock to do.) "Sit" or "Stay" for instance.
Our talented and educated Slave Stones are available in your choice of color as
long as we have that color paint.

Would you like to be able to travel in time? I am thinking about possibly

will be sold per date.

Dragons Some one suggested I make the Dragon story readable on-line, instead of making people download it, and print it. I have done that. (See http://www.tntcarden.com/logic - the link that says "On-line Version.") This makes me reluctant to make changes to it, since each change will have to be entered in three different documents. Maybe that's a good thing. I have added a couple of sections to the teacher's guide this week.
Life The rest of my life continues to be very busy. (See http://www.tntcarden.com Oh, wait you already are.)
Baby Coming My son's wife is going to have a baby just any day now.
Brother Coming One of my brothers is going to visit next weekend. My parent's third son really needs to have more of a presence in Cyberspace. I have no link for my "(See …)" comment, which can be associated with him. It used to be (See http://www.georgiapower.com/) but he has finally retired.
Bible Study by Mail We sent out a little better than 200 Bible lessons in December, more than 300 in January, more than 400 in February and have already topped 500 for March. God continues to provide the people and money to get the job done. It is a daily miracle. We could still use your help. (See http://www.biblestudybymail.com) If you would like to be on our e-mail mailing list for twice weekly updates, please let me know.
Bible Study by Car My wife and I have started going to a bible study on Monday nights with our oldest daughter. (See http://www.bsfinternational.org/) We like it because they are serious about studying the bible. If you research it on the web, you will find that praise for it is not universal, but that is apparently because BSF stubbornly refuses to let any particular denomination control them, while at the same time not allowing themselves to be turned into a denomination. They gather to study the Bible. If you have another agenda, please take it elsewhere. If you have a different opinion about what the Bible is saying, you are free to say so without consequence. That is hardly "cultic" behavior.
Work I still have a job for the foreseeable future. There were rumors of lay-offs until the governor accepted part of the "stimulus" money. Anyone with one eye can see that the only thing that is being stimulated to grow is the government, but since I am employed by them, it looks like I'll have a job for a while, at least until the whole country goes bankrupt, which may be sooner than we think. (See http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123202946622485595.html)
Home I'm watching a dove walking around on the porch and listening to it coo. That is such a relaxing sound. We have been watching lots of old TV shows lately. We check them out from the library, and if we like them we buy a season or two to watch. Lately it has been "My Three Sons." It started out funny but by the end of the first season they had an agenda. So much for that. We have been working on the dragon story together the last couple of months. We read it out loud to each other, and my wife tells me what is wrong with it, and I change it. I'm hoping she'll get time to make me a map and the grand children will draw illustrations. I guess that brings this full circle back around to where this post started. (See http://www.tntcarden.com/logic)

Pronoun Meltdown I was strongly urged to post this here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[My wife to Thor at work] 2/26/2009 8:19 AM
I think I shall clean the house real good for Saturday's get together this morning and work on LBS this afternoon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Thor to my wife] 2/26/2009 9:14 AM
Your plan has been reviewed in detail by a committee consisting of me, myself, and I. There was a good bit of contention and discussion on several points, but in the end we came to agreement. Your plan has been approved by a voice vote. One of the three abstained, but since it was a voice vote I am not at liberty to reveal his identity. Minutes of the meeting are available on request. You are hereby authorized to proceed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[My wife to Thor] 2/26/2009 10:10 AM
You are in a fix if I demand minutes! Ha

Meeting Minutes of Me, Myself and I - February 26, 2009
Note: It was impossible to assign the comments to the speakers by name, because all three of them have voices that sound exactly alike.
The wife sent an e-mail, and has proposed a plan for the day.
What is that?
It is when you outline the things you are thinking about doing for some period of time in the future.
I know that! What is the plan she is proposing?
She said, "I think I shall clean the house real good for Saturday's get together this morning and work on LBS this afternoon."
Not I! I am not driving all the way home for that.
She means herself.
Then why doesn't she say so?
She did.
What house does she mean? We live in an apartment.
She means the apartment.
How do you know? Maybe she means she is going to the daughter's and cleaning her house.
She could mean the cabin down the country.
No, she would say “cabin” if she meant that.
How do you know? She might have said house when she meant apartment, or it could be something else. I think we should ask for clarification.
No, that might annoy her, and she hasn't promised us supper yet.
True.
I wonder what we will have for supper.
Don't change the subject. We need to focus on her e-mail right now.
You are the one who brought up supper.
What do you suppose she means by "real good?"
What do you care?
Well, I don't, but I was curious.
We do not have time for idle curiosity. She needs an answer this morning.
How do you know that?
It says, "this morning."
She is talking about Saturday morning.
You are an idiot. She means this morning.
There is no need to get testy; we are all friends here.
Speak for yourself.
No, I speak for myself.
No, I do that. You speak for me.
Don't go down that path! Remember what happened last time. Pronoun meltdown!
OK. Sorry.
How many Saturdays are going to get together?
Saturday's is possessive. Not Saturdays, plural.
Besides how could Saturdays get together? They are a week apart.
Well, then who or what is getting together?
Our family.
Oh, yeah. I forgot.
If it is our family, why does the get together belong to Saturday?
It doesn't. It means that is the day the family is going to get together. Is English your second language? What is wrong with you?
What difference does it make what day it is, if she is doing the cleaning this morning?
She doesn't say, but Saturday is two days from now, so who cares?
I care.
Well, we need to make a decision. She is just sitting there waiting for us to decide.
If you believe that, you are a bigger idiot than I thought.
I, did you think that?
I can't speak for you.
You isn't here.
Remember what happened last time!
OK. Sorry.
Those in favor, say "Aye!"
That is confusing. When everyone says "Aye," I think they mean me.
You mean I.
I told you already, you isn't here.
Then why do you keep bringing him up?
I didn't bring up him, you did.
But you isn't here!
Remember!
OK. Sorry.
Those in favor say "Yes" and those opposed say, "No."
"Yes"
"Yes"
OK, I will report the results to her and authorize her to proceed.
Why will I do it? Why can't you do it?
You isn't even here. We have talked about this already.
Did you invite him?
How would I know what you did?
Guys! Guys! Remember last time.
OK. Sorry.
Meeting adjourned.
I am not sure what "meeting adjourned" means in this context.
Me either.
Y'all are both idiots.

All my creative writing is going into working on the story about the Logical Fallacy Dragons. It consists of several stories in a series. The first one is done. I have gotten some encouragement from children who are dear to me to finish it, so I am. If you want to read it, let me know via e-mail and I'll send you a copy. Until I get it done I doubt if this blog will see any more updates. If you want to be notified when this blog becomes active again, let me know via e-mail and I'll let you know. I'm estimating 2 or 3 months.
Saturday, January 24, 2009
I can not believe a whole week has gone by since my last entry and I still have nothing to blog about.
Did you know that the air rising from the heat from a lap top computer is enough to make one of those Christmas whirlagigs go around? I learned that this Christmas and have been meaning to mention it to you.
We have more and more mail. I am answering fewer letters and spending more time administering the answers of others. I have two men who are answering about as many as I am now. We each answer about 25% of the total English lessons. I have two people who answer several each week on their lunch hour at work. I have a few more people who answer one every now and then, maybe two to four a month. I'm grateful for them all. We need someone to help us with the Spanish side of the Bible studies. The two folks helping with that are becoming overwhelmed.
I have a bunch of people who make noise like they want to help answer lessons, but they don't. They'll say, "I want to help," I give them the web site, and I never hear from them again. Or they ask for a password, and never answer a lesson. Or they answer one or two, and then quit. That is fine with me. I am not disappointed in them, or think badly of them. I just hope that they are making good decisions for their lives based on their best understanding of God's will. I believe most of them are. I fear a few of them though are falling victim to the attacks of Satan and allowing him to discourage them. Pray for them.
Ten years ago, or so, I started writing a book which I hoped would help children learn the rudiments of logical thinking. I wrote just a few chapters and then gave up on it. It just sort of meandered into nonsense. Recently my wife and I have been reading an allegory called Holy War. It was originally written by Bunyan who also wrote Pilgrims Progress, but we are reading an updated version made more palatable to semi-literate 21st century folks. We are enjoying it. Anyway, it has inspired me to try again on my children's book. It has dragons that cast spells by weaving lies. The way to break the spell is discover and refute the logical fallacy on which the lie is based. I don't have time to write this book, and will anyway, so I suspect you will see even fewer blog entries in the future.

100 Things I saw this on another blog, and I've heard it’s been emailed around. You are supposed to put in ‘bold’ the things you have done on the list so I did. Go ahead, add it to your blog too - you know you want to… it’s fun.
1. Started your own blog
2. Slept under the stars (Technically we all do this every time we
sleep, but it means without a roof, even a tent roof.)

33. Seen Niagara Falls in person
34. Visited the birthplace of your parents
35. Visited a reclusive religious community (like the Amish)

71. Eaten shark
72. Quilted (It was just a few stitches, but I did it.)
73. Stood in Grand Central Station

the car would have hit her.)
90. Sat on a jury
91. Met someone famous (How famous? I know the producer of the Narnia
movies. Probably not that famous. I once used the urinal next to the one Johnny
Cash was using. It's against protocol to speak in such cases, so I'm counting
it.)

93. Lost a loved one
94. Watched your child being born (All three of them.)
95. Seen the Alamo in person
96. Visited more than one of the Great Lakes
97. Been involved in a law suit

See! You can hardly tell I edited it. It looks better with more stuff bolded, and I did not even have to lie. (Except about being frightened on the cruise. We were not frightened at all, but the humor required I say it.) With some more creative editing, I could have gotten 19 and 37 too, but I wanted the chance to make those comments.

True or False Quiz
Mr. Ed, the famous TV horse, was really a zebra painted to look like a horse.
Mobile homes are named for Mobile, Alabama, not their ability to be moved.
The bear is on California's flag because the flag maker misread the word "pear" as "bear" in his written instructions.
When a popular play writer's play did not do well it took them two weeks to figure out it was because the title of the play on the marquee, "Closed for Renovation," gave many people the wrong idea.
When the Titanic hit an iceberg the on-board movie being shown was The Poseidon Adventure, about a luxury liner sinking.
Tarzana, Calilfornia, was not named for Tarzan. Tarzan was named after the town, albeit indirectly.

Goals and accomplishments? Looking back on my blog, I discovered this from my January 14, 2008, entry: I was asked the question, "What is one big goal you want to accomplish in 2008?" My answer was, "I want to live to see 2009, and recognize it for what it is, when it arrives." Looks like I did it.
How many of you can say that you accomplished your one big goal for 2008?
As I reflect on this I realize that I have accomplished very few of the things I thought I would when I was younger. I also realize, I do not mind, because for the most part I did not accomplish them, because I changed my mind. For the rest I am aware of no feeling of disappointment.
One thing that was an important goal for me was raising my children to be Christian people who could think for themselves. God has generously enabled my wife and I to have done that. More than that, my children turned out to be people whom I admire and respect. I could not be prouder.
I can remember almost twenty years ago feeling the Holy Spirit leading me in the direction of educational ministry. I had only the vaguest of notions, but it seemed to me He was guiding me towards a Christian High School for adults. Nothing much came of it except that it continued to niggle at my sub-conscious for years, and sometimes had an impact on some of my choices. For instance, when I was in business for myself I tended to work with Christian educational institutions as clients more than others, when I had a choice. Now my wife and I are part of a Jail Ministry and work with a Bible Correspondence Course ministry by mail. Interestingly the courses are on a middle school and high school level for the most part.
I have no idea what will happen next, with me, or the ministry, but I find I am not worried about it, and I am content. Isn't that what our goals are usually about? Doing something that will make us happy? I am happy.
