What is Peregrine Ward?

Away for awhile

Sorry for the delay in replying to the posts. I've been travelling, and haven't had much internet access. I'm still out of town (at Princeton University) but I now have internet access.

Hope you're all well.

Yes but how were the newborn in soddom unrighteous and how come no
more cities or countries are destroyed today? and plus people were
evil mainly because they had know knowledge of God who seemed to be
only exclusive to the Jews

Beauty

I have been talking with my friend Matt about John Mark's lecture on Beauty. We were trying to decide what is beautiful, that we love, that we should pursue. We soon got to thinking that we didn't even know what the definition for beauty was and thus it could be hard to find something beautiful to pursue.

So my question for you all is "What is beauty?"

Answers.com says beauty is "The quality that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is associated with such properties as harmony of form or color, excellence of artistry, truthfulness, and originality."

But it seems this would mean beauty is in the eye of the beholder which I disagree with completely.

My brother gave some interesting ideas on what beauty is but I would like to hear your opinions first.

question

ok so I was reading Joshua and it got me thinking, why does God
command the Israelites to kill entire cities even innocent children? I
mean if God loves everyone than why does he command the Israelites to
kill even the innocent? And if God ordered us to kill a city wouldn't
that be somewhat wrong? and would we even do it? I wouldn't cause to
me it seems wrong. I know God is good and this is the Old testament
but doesn't this seem umm wrong?

Thanks!

thanks Tom this blog will keep us connected as soon as the rest of the group joins (hopefully even angel will join). Well re-adjustment is somewhat difficult but I'm leaving to Chicago on Monday so I won't be home to long. and I had an ethical question but I forgot it but maybe i'll remember later.

Wheatstone Blog

Josh has asked about the Wheatstone blog. Others of you might be wondering the same thing. As soon as I know anything, I'll let you know.

Thanks

Hey Tom and all my seraphim peeps.... we never did get a name for just our group... what happened there?? anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to Tom for getting this blog up... and to say how much of an honor and a privilege it was to meet and get to know all of you a little bit. I hope we continue to grow closer together through our interaction here and that we can become "friends" if we have not come to that point already!! hehe

Post Wheatstone

Hi Folks.
The days after any sort of camp can be a little weird. Sometimes you feel out of place in your ordinary life; sometimes you feel a little depressed; sometimes you feel guilty because it seems like you're not applying anything you learned to your life. But, be of good cheer! May the joy of the Lord be your strength, and may this little blog help keep you connected, even if only in a small way, to your experience at Wheatstone.
Feel free to post any of your ideas or questions here. I'll be checking frequently, so you can expect to hear from me at least. But the real purpose is to get all of us "talking" with each other, having an electronic conversation. Enjoy!
