Carson Spratt

Carson Spratt loves learning. And learns through life. And life, well, life is about love. And all these things are rooted in his God. He learns about God, lives God, and loves God. So there’s a sort of Trinity of interests in his life, unified in one Lord. He learns how to love, he lives out his learning, and he loves life. And the great thing is, it only gets better from this world on out. God told him so.

As to his personal interests in this life – well, how much space does he have? (And how much time do you?) He enjoys Classical music, a well-told story, chocolate, a warm fire, snow wet enough to throw, Christmas, the Bible, writing poetry that even he doesn’t understand, games with family, laughter from the heart, and friends who put up with his various oddities. Sunsets always amaze him, as do thunderstorms, wind, stars, and grassy lawns. Calvin and Hobbes, in his opinion, have a darn sight more sense than Richard Dawkins. He delights in debating (maybe too much), reading, poking holes in atheistic arguments, passing on jokes, and quoting his favourite authors (William Goldman, C.S. Lewis, Victor Hugo, Bill Waterson, P.G. Wodehouse and Charles Dodgson, for example.) His favourite part of the Bible is Psalm 104:27-30.

There are three things which Carson hates, yes, four which he despises: An illogical argument, a lover of fashion, a good book tortured into the shape of a bad movie, and a man who misuses the Bible. Actually, there are more. But he’ll hold back.

Carson has traveled with this planet in several different locations: Surrey B.C., Regina S.K., Sechelt B.C., White Rock B.C., and, most recently, Colville Wa.

Well, that’s him. (They told him to write in third person). To contact him, open your window and yell. He might hear, he might not: it’s worth a try.

    Greetings, Carson! This is your schizophrenic pal, Mahershalalhashbaz. I look forward to confusing you at critical moments in your life. See you around!

    Carson! Fancy meeting you here. I’m eager to see your work.

    Wow. What have we gotten ourselves into here. Congratulations, and I look forward to all your posts!

    Ooh. Welcome.

    I wouldn’t strictly call myself a lover of fashion, but I have recently begun to enjoy it to some degree… it’s hard to be a creature bound for eternity but stuck in time– knowing how to behave in a timeless manner, yet belong in some degree to the time you were placed in. Fashion marks that time, and when it’s not ugly or distasteful, sometimes it is nice to say, “However long I will last, this is when I began, and I will not deny it in front of any man. And I will be grateful, and wear the chunky glasses because they are in style.” And then you can continue wearing the fashion, because you were of the time…

    ANYWAY. Welcome, again! Can’t wait.

    Thanks, all! Miss (I think) Roorda: I agree about the fashion thing. I’m talking about the vapid bumblers who follow it continually for its own sake. I’m not the sort who thinks life should have stopped in the 1700’s.

    But I LIKE bell bottoms! Does this mean you despise me?

    But seriously, are you related to Jack Spratt?
    I’m looking forward to seeing your interesting writings ^_^

    Somebody read Proverbs 30 recently…. :D
    I can’t wait to read more from all you new writers!

    Welcome to PAN! I look forward to reading your work.

  9. V. K. Blake says on January 20th, 2010 at 12:25 am

    I have to join Han (and I guess Erin) in the “I love fashion” group. But welcome to the Pan anyway–I hope you accept welcomes from despicable lovers of fashion. (;

    Welcome from a lover of style, not fashion. :-) I very much look forward to reading what you have to say!

    Welcome!

    Welcome!

    It’s good that you like chocolate, wind, and all that. :) Very good taste.

    …and I don’t *think* I’m a lover of fashion, at least of modern and recent fashion.

  13. R.L. Bertilson says on January 25th, 2010 at 1:07 pm

    *hollers out window and catches all sorts of weird looks* (Especially since it’s winter.)

    Not a lover of fashion, unless you count steampunk fashion. Heh heh. Welcome! Let us hope that you will be a more consistent and less cowardly poster than I!
