To all my new
readers:
Those people
who are familiar with John Bunyan’s great work, The Pilgrim’s Progress, might remember the Interpreter’s House.
That is where Christian, before he comes to know Jesus Christ as Savior and
Lord, listens to instruction and guidance from the Interpreter concerning
various visions and object lessons presented to him.
To more
experienced people, the visions that the Interpreter explains might seem
elementary or mundane. However, those less-traveled individuals – like some of
the high-school-level homeschoolers that I tutor – might need a bit of plain
talking to unravel the mysteries behind the visions.
That is where
the name of the house and my purpose in writing this blog intersect. I am not
claiming to be the “expert interpreter” that Bunyan envisioned in his work;
rather, I am an Apprentice Interpreter, under the Master Interpreter himself.
And I find myself – more often than not – longing to reveal the plain and
simple meanings to the events happening in this day and age. A C.S. Lewis I am
not, but I am a woman with a mind,
and – God help me! – I use it to figure things out in this age of confusion.
If you would
like to “hear” my remarks, teachings, opinions, revelations, statements, pontifications,
dogmatisms, and such like, read on. If this sort of thing does not interest
you, I wish you Godspeed as you resume your journey through the Internet.
