Lift-off
Today (right now, actually!) I’m flying to New York to spend time with my wonderful friend Lori and speak at the New York State Right to Life pro-life camp for teens. Over the past few months, I’ve been ramping up my writing, including re-engaging in my pro-life work. A long time ago, pre-kids, I did […]

Terrible Tuesday: AUGH
Yes, I’m still in my pajamas. No, I’m not finished with my presentations (one more!) or packed (All I need is a towel!). Yes, I’m really excited to be spending six days with one of the best people on the planet. Quick and dirty links! What should a 4-year-old know? Great post on promoting equality […]

Surprised by joy
Life News reported on the story of Paulo Henrique Machado, a man who has lived in a hospital his entire life. He’s a computer animator who is making a 3-D movie about his life. The story is picking up steam in the media and looks like it may go viral. I don’t know if that says […]

They’re not dead yet!
I’ve written some about hymns, and they’ve all been old enough to be in the public domain. But there is a resurgence in hymn writing, and the result is some wonderful songs that are filled with the beauty and truth of God. This is one we sang in church today and a favorite of mine. […]

Human exceptionism and the personhood standard
I’m doing some research for some presentations and came across this excellent presentation by Wesley Smith. It’s about 30 minutes, and very worth the time. The Question: Does human life have ultimate value, merely because it is human life? Is our humanity relevant to our moral value? If the answer is “No,” then what does […]

Redefining basic care
Today in my Washington Times Communities column, I’m writing about a case in Canada regarding a woman with Alzheimer’s disease and a disagreement between her family and the nursing home where she resides regarding her care. The family wants the home to stop feeding her, the nursing home disagrees. Our society (As in Western society […]

Funny if it’s true
My Washington Times Community Pages column has apparently hit a snag, so this is filler because I will not break the chain! This is a great collection of maps, including one of the journey of the rubber duckies. This can lead to frustrating and embarrassing situation, causing unwanted strain in the relationship. continue reading my […]

The places to find wisdom
Like from Ashton Freaking Kutcher. Seriously, this is such a great speech filled with so much wisdom. If you’re one of the three people on the planet who hasn’t yet watched it, do so. Wasn’t that great? One of the things I found amusing is watching the reaction when someone unexpected says something profound. (And […]

Terrible Tuesday: studious
I’m preparing for some pro-life presentations I’m making next week. A couple of problems. 1. I’m a little rusty since I’ve been distracted with homeschool mommying for the past several years and am, in fact, in the midst of doing that right now. 2. Five stinking presentations. AUGH! Frantic-cramming links! Cool map showing U.S. rivers […]

Losing stars
I’ve mentioned before that our family likes to stargaze. Very often we’ll set up the telescope in the front lawn and find Mars or the moons of Jupiter or some other astronomical feature. Even though we’re in the close-in suburbs of Dallas, we get a decent view of the more prominent objects. However, for the […]
