Music and the Soul
Posted in Great Thoughts on June 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Last night I read a thought-provoking article from the blog Mere Orthodoxy entitled “Music and the Soul“. While I’d love to spend some time with this, I can’t mostly because I’ve not had time to really give this more thought than that I want to think about it (how do you like that…I’ve thought [...]

Last week, I attended our area Classical Conversations Parent Practicum, which was wonderful, by the way. Unlike many attendees, my children did not attend with me. This meant that during the lunch break, I was blessedly ALONE. (I know all moms enjoy alone time, but trust me when I say homeschool mothers enjoy it the [...]

Here is a taste of an excellent sermon on today’s gospel reading from StandFirm website contributor Matt Kennedy…

Baby Blue just posted an excellent essay about sacrifice, particularly women who serve their husbands and families with little or no earthly “recognition”. It was written in response to a very distressing post by an Episcopal clergywoman who ridiculed women who chose the high calling of motherhood and wifehood eschewing the world’s version of “fame” [...]
