What Does Murdering Muses Mean?

While using a word like "murder" may leave a bad taste in some people's mouths, I find it completely appropriate in context. Besides the alliteration, "murder" correctly paints a word picture of the idea.
The muses are given credit for the arts and sciences, as well any inspiration that any human receives in these areas. To me, this hits home a lot more than most other ancient ursurpers worshipped by various peoples. While most stories of the gods sound more like soap operas, this myth actually gives some of God's most visible creative designs to someone else. So, the purpose of the name is simple. There is a need to give Him back His glory for what He and He alone has done. So that is the purpose and goal. To design and create as He would direct. Though the context of this name's origin is completely irrelevant in today's society, the purpose expressed is more than needed.

I just finished reading He Is There And He Is Not Silent by Francis A. Schaeffer, and I have to say that anyone who enjoys contemplating ideas of philosophy would do well to find a copy. One of the most interesting things about his passion for his beliefs is that he was not taught progressively to believe what he did, but came to it after studying it from the opposite side of the situation. He was an agnostic, and ended up holding to and finding complete satisfaction in the antithesis of this belief. This makes his reasoning all the more convincing, to know just how vividly he wrestled with everything he conveys.

If anyone has any interesting books or authors they enjoy, let me know about them, along with a brief synopsis!

"And, because he is not threatened by the difference between reality and fantasy, the Christian should be the man with the flaming imagination and the beauty of creation." - Francis A. Schaeffer

What does Broken Box mean?

It's kind of funny actually, because while I was on the site forum for Cafepress, and I found another broken box, quite by accident. I checked out their page, and I have no clue what it means to them. Seeing as they appeared much better established to date, I guess I cannot take credit for knowing what it really means, I suppose they have first dibs.

But, in my own little mind, I found it as I do most of my ideas, by accident on my part. Usually, as you might guess with me, these ideas involve some type of imagery. Picture a box, a crate really, that has been demolished. Only two sides still stand, connected to the bottom side, and the rest lies splintered around this monument. Your Ideas are what were in the box. Your philosophies, your ethics, your God, etc. And they are in need of change. That is really what life is about to my knowledge. Changing to have a better worldview, and then living by it. What worldview do you actually live by? Is it the same one you proclaim? This is truly rare. So the box needs to be broken in some way for any one of us. Whether its expanding or adjusting our views or living closer to what we find logical, the box must be broken, so growth can occur.

"...no finite point has any meaning unless it has an infinite reference point." - Francis Schaeffer
