The Last Good Woman, or, how not to prepare for kindergarten
Where does the time go? Hambet, who was not even two when this blog started, is headed off to kindergarten next Monday! We’ve been getting ready slowly but steadily over the summer: new clothes, new shoes, picking up a few supplies here and there….

Just black and white I’m right, he’s wrong. He claims I am not a real Star Wars fan because I say Episodes… Continue reading Let’s Settle This, Once and For All!
Two Good Entries Over @ Curt Jester
Entry #1 was an excerpt of a podcast homily: That we must be ready to remove from us the soul-killing voices of dissention, rebellion, bitterness, and contention does not mean that we must be ready to ignore or even coddle the Spirits of Deceit and Disobedience. Nothing about growing up to be Christs for others… Continue reading Two Good Entries Over @ Curt Jester
