The Da Vinci Code...Book Review

A new addition to my blog...book reviews as I finish them.

Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code is brilliantly written with an amazing understanding of art and European history. With the aid of a fast-paced story line and an air of superior enlightenment, the author generously sews poisonous seeds of doubt regarding the beliefs and history of the Christian faith. I'm not sure what disturbs me more, his clever way of weaving lies into the tapestry of Christianity or his carefully crafted word pallet that attempts to paint dark things as light.

Perspective Make Over

Like most teenagers, I always tried to help my mom dress "cooler". My sister and I were always ready with some fashion advice in those years. Recently, I'm amused at the changing tide. In the last years finances have been tight and I find myself gratefully receiving "mom-me-downs". The humor of this is not lost on me! I guess either my mom is way "cooler" than my teenage mind thought or fashion is just not as important to me as it used to be. Maybe both.
