This Classical Life

For the last several years, I’ve posted a list of books I’ve read at the end of the year. I have never categorized them the same way twice. Continuing on that trend, here are the books I read in 2007. (more…)

Watch over thy child, Alexine, O Lord, as her days increase; bless and guide her wherever she may be, keeping her unspotted from the world. Strengthen her when she stands; comfort her when discouraged or sorrowful; raise her up if she fall; and in her heart may thy peace which passeth understanding abide all the days of her life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

In light of this local tragedy and Heather’s recent post about her journey, I wanted to remind all my readers that postpartum depression is a very real and very serious condition. If you think you may be suffering from it, please seek help. The local woman was a friend of a friend. If you would, pray for her husband, Chip.

Thanks to the internet, Senators have had 46hr and 8m to read a 3,417 page omnibus spending bill. Apparently, thanks to the internet (and Al Gore!), that is plenty of time for any senator read all 3,417 pages of this spending bill. HOWEVER, Durbin forgot that not all senators are well-educated northern Democrats. We’ve also got us sum dum southernerz in the group (thanks to the internet?) who need a little bit longer to actually read it (at least the small words).

But why bother reading it all at? The democrats like it and they are the ones to clean up Washington, reform Congress and get rid of the pork, right?
