Life of Pride

I am breaking my self-imposed vow of silence to say that it was not a great idea to start analyzing the PHC conflict on my blog. In fact, it was a bad idea - the lesser of two bad ideas. The worse idea would have been to not post about the PHC conflict.
I think this is part of what has made me feel so strange for the past month. Ideals diffract in this world's fallen atmosphere so that even the best choice is never perfect. Sometimes the right choices are less perfect than other times. Sometimes you have to stop holding out for the last bit of data that will make your case irrefutable and just put yourself out there for criticism you know is well-founded.
This is the real world, little Sarah; time to grow up. You've been wrong about some things you believed in more thoroughly than you ought. You really do need God's mercy and grace, and now you can feel your need. Isn't that grand?
See everyone next Friday.

When my two-week deadline is up. I don't mean that I will literally "see" everyone. I will post then. :D
You mention PHC -- what exactly is it, or do you not say because this is online? Just curious, especially since you mention Pensacola (my family gets homeschool curriculum from there) in the same sentance.

PHC is Patrick Henry College. When I say that PHC is trying to "find a balance between Pensacola and Harvard," I mean that Pensacola is extraordinarily protective of its students, who are all Christian, and Harvard is the opposite. I guess I take it for granted that most people who are reading my blog will know what "PHC" stands for. :)
