Dance with the devil
In my latest Communities Digital News article, I take another look at female gendercide — this time on Western Shores. Two Canadian medical societies have released a statement calling for a ban on “non-medical” ultrasound. Although sex-selection abortion is never mentioned in the statement, the reporting around the statement mentions the increase in sex-selection abortion, […]

We’re doing it wrong
Listen, I know only a couple of weeks ago I wrote some hard things about when we shouldn’t engage the culture. As Christians, we have to be careful not to be mindless consumers of whatever is served in the name of entertainment. But you know what’s not good? Hiding in our little Christian or conservative […]

Empty Shelf Challenge: The Forgotten Man
*This post contains affiliated links. I started writing this post at the beginning of the week. It has been eaten and spat back up by digital gremlins more than a couple of times. Then it got unwieldy, and I hacked it back with aggressive deleting. Then it grew again, despite my best efforts. I don’t […]

Advice from a toddler
Lately, I’ve been a little dismayed at the tendency to for everyone to be so very indignant about every dang thing. To “take on others offenses” as my mom says. There is so much outrage and shaky fists that somebody somewhere might be doing something that they ought not do. I’m not talking about actual […]

Persevering
I am 10 days away from the anniversary of The Great Blog Project. I’ve blogged every day since March 1, 2013. So of course, things are going wonky this week. Last night, my computer ate my rather long and complicated blog post. Which is probably a sign to shorten and uncomplicate things. Poor Bulldozer is […]

Terrible Tuesday: Birthday boy edition
Bulldozer turns 9 today. Nine! How did that even happen? It. Goes. So. Fast. He’s getting a Kindle for his birthday. He knows he’s getting it, and he even picked out the case for it, but I told him if doesn’t act surprised I won’t give it to him. We have to maintain our little […]

Not President’s Day
Technically, this is not President’s Day. Oh, I know what the mattress and car sales pitches say, but officially the holiday is “George Washington’s Birthday.” But because it comes so soon after President Lincoln’s birthday, we’ve smooshed them together in our minds. Even more, we’ve added in all the presidents — some of whom […]

Not so lazy Sunday
Church and library and bills and grocery list and other library and grocery store and homeschool planning and something else that I can’t remember right now. Maybe two of those. Time enough to sleep when you’re dead, right? I don’t think I’m doing this day of rest thing right. Have some mom-memes while I run […]

Beauty inside
Wacoal is a Japanese based lingerie company. Their Thai division has produced a series of short films called, “My Beautiful Woman.” There is no lingerie, no skin, no sensuous situations, just stories of three remarkable women told from the point of view of men in their lives. Interestingly, only one of those men is a […]

Fine Arts Friday: Frederic Edwin Church
Our next artist from the Hudson River School is Frederic Church. A pupil of Thomas Cole, he bucked the prevailing trend and did not go to Europe to study art. Instead, he went to South America and is one of the best-known painters of South American landscapes. He did eventually go to Europe, but only […]
