The situation described in the following letters is entirely fictitious, including persons, names, crimes, sins, relationships, circumstances and all particulars. The kind of situation that is described, however, is all too common and my hope is that biblical principles applied … [Read more...]
Book of the Month/August 2017
For those who—unlike myself—function with tidy minds, I must begin by acknowledging that there was no Book of the Month/July 2017. This is because it was dark, they were big. It won’t happen again. Those responsible have been sacked. And for this round, I want to do something … [Read more...]
The Abolition of Woman
Introduction One of the great novels of the twentieth century was That Hideous Strength. It is a fantastic read as a straightforward story, but that is not where the greatness lies. I would be hard pressed to come up with a more prophetic book than this one. The way things have … [Read more...]
What Floats This Little Boat
So I have been blogging for a number of years now. I have largely figured out the writing and posting part, but honestly, between us girls, I am still figuring out the analytics part. But I have gotten to the point where I can at least make out what is generally going on. When I … [Read more...]

Life under the Giant Eyeball
The last time I wrote about my distaste for the surveillance state, about life under the giant eyeball, I received some feedback via a friend from a brother in the intelligence community, wishing that I would be more precise in my criticisms. Although I do not know if this effort … [Read more...]
Book of the Month/June 2017
Out of the Ashes really is a marvelous book, and Anthony Esolen is a baller. He tackles the same problem that Rod Dreher is addressing in The Benedict Option—which is the apostasy and resultant deterioration of a formerly Christian culture—but he does it with a lot more verve. … [Read more...]
Both Easy and Hard
As parents, teachers, elders, pastors, and as those in authority, we tend to fall into one of two errors as we seek to guide those who have been placed under our authority. One error is to be far too easily pleased. The other is to become impossible to please. For the former, not … [Read more...]
Review: Swear Not at All
Swear Not at All by Christopher C. Gee My rating: 2 of 5 stars The author really is to be commended for making the attempt. The topic of "swearing," really is a complex one, and while he did well in taking the question down to the level of intent, about the … [Read more...]
