Filed under in the news

the basics:

What is This Classical Life? A weblog about all the beautiful things in life, like books, food and community. It is written by Kristen, a newly-minted Memphian who is married to Michael and mother to two school-aged girls.

Why This Classical Life? Why not? The domain was bought a long time ago, the name came out of Michael's classics background and a love for WBEZ's This American Life.

In Which I am a Curmudgeon: I find the elf on the shelf trend incompatible with an incarnational Christmas.

Parenting, the Gospel & Moral Therapeutic Deism: What's best for our kids and what's best for the kingdom of God generally aren't mutually exclusive.

On Storytelling: Some of our best stories might not have a place on a blog.

Give Them Grace: A book review in which I assert that the author is espousing less grace than she believes by talking to children as unbelievers.
