This Classical Life

My annual pre-holiday sale is going on now for photo cards. Details here.

I needed to sing this so badly tonight that I wept when I sang. It felt better than I thought that it would when I realized I could not stop myself from crying.

I’ve got appointments at the allergist Wednesday and the family practice doctor Thursday, I’m praying for some answers, or at least some relief.

So, yesterday when out and about I noticed Tyler Hansbrough on the cover of USA Today, announcing that the Heels are the preseason #1 pick. I have mixed feelings about this. Of course, it’s good to know that others recognize that we have a great team, that we could do great things, but starting out at #1 means there’s no where to go but down. And that makes me nervous. I predict we won’t retain the ranking through January. And that’s okay, because rankings aren’t THAT important. But, we’re going to win the national championship in the end.

Happy St Crispin’s Day!

These were taken this morning, right after I made the last post.

Our church uses the Godly Play curriculum for children’s church (during the sermon, for ages 3-8ish.) I really enjoy serving as a storyteller. The props and stories are well done, and they emphasize wonder rather than the right answers. And I think wonder is a right feeling to cultivate in our children when they think of God. I hope it serves as a good balance to catechism in our children’s hearts.
