Worldviews Literacy 2008-11-28 20:44:01 Each of us has a worldview- a framework we use to understand our existence. Think of it as a pair of eyeglasses through which we see the world. This worldview acts as either a corrective lens, bringing everything into a sharp focus, or as an improper prescription, blurring the world around us.

The Great Divorce 2008-11-22 22:12:30 Colleges are notorious for having clubs, activities and events that can deprive any individual of their time. Washington State University is no exception. Fortunately, if you have the opportunity to be involved in a club that shares your interests, the time is hardly wasted. At the end of one of these club meetings, Bee Literate™ ran across an individual sharing our interest in literature-with a Read more:Great

Mark Bertrand's latest work beautifully and skillfully provides us with a lense through which we can see the world.
