Sitting in Starbucks / Chapters

Many people would be thinking many things as they sat enjoying a ‘tall blond (roast)’ on a beautiful Friday morning in May, waiting for Canadian Tire to finally getting around to perhaps fixing their car.I am thinking how much I hate two things: Motown and the Beatles. I always have

Home-schooling

So, we home-school.We did for a few years when the oldest two were young, and then put them in school. Now, we are doing so again because of a career change, but, you know, really enjoying it.That’s my main thought: why define your schooling type so exclusively

The Rush of Noble Feelings

There is nothing more repugnant to me than – which I can say, based upon many years of quiet observation, must be to many the centre-point of their moral/religious experience – the feeling of satisfaction one derives from things considered moral, which cost one effectively nothing, and in fact, actually serve to bolster their socio-economic status. You see this with vegetarianism, ecumenism, being pro-homosexual (whatever that is!).

Holocaust of Love

There is an awful scene, or narrative, really, in Michael O’Brien’s Plague Journal – I have told him this – of a winter of sickness and unhappiness for a family.

Merry Christmas

A few things have conspired to get me back here to the blogger-drawing board. The first was the realization that I haven’t blogged in a dog’s age, and that that is terrible for someone who has spent the past few years strong-arming all and sundry Catholic to do so.The second was the presence of my bishop, whose aura of holiness is an aura of evangelization where you are and how you are.
