Peony Moss: August 2008 Archives

seen at Video meliora....

moar:

and I got to leave the VERY FIRST COMMENT

So my post total's been in the tank since I moved a couple of years ago. Some of it's because of Real Life Going at High Velocity; some of it is because I've been making a concerted effort to Not Spend So Much Darn Time on the Internet; some of it's because Hambet knows that when I'm at the computer, I'm concentrating -- and he's got a chance to raid the ice cream before he gets caught.

And a lot of it is fear. I've made some good friends here, good Catholic women, but this is Virginia and they're tech savvy. They read blogs. They read Catholic mom blogs. They know who else reads blogs. And they're clever! What if I blog something about, oh, I don't know, what flavor gum I got at Target and I'm found out?

(translation after the jump)

...of happy memory, entered eternal life a little over a year ago (August 1, to be exact.) May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Solzhenitzyn's Templeton Address: "Men Have Forgotten God"

WWWTW reprints his frighteningly prescient 1978 Harvard Address:

It is not possible that assessment of the President's performance be reduced to the question of how much money one makes or of unlimited availability of gasoline. Only voluntary, inspired self-restraint can raise man above the world stream of materialism.
