Citizen legislatures
Today in my Between Errands column I talk about America’s part-time state legislatures. I know, fascinating, but stay with me. Most states have a part-time legislature, or at least a less than full time. You can find the full breakdown here. It’s interesting that they include campaigning for re-election as part of the “work” of […]

Good doggie
We’re spending the day at Six Flags, but alas Jack won’t be on spider patrol. He has a tendency to invite friends over and get a little rowdy when left alone too long. How to cure tinnitus is not a simple errand. tadalafil 20mg from india If you have taken a dose of Tadaga 20 […]

Terrible Tuesday: Reading Day
This post contains affiliated links. Today we’re reading. We’re reading Carry On, Mr. Bowditch and The Bright Design and The Castle of Llyr. I’m not sure what else we’ll be doing, if anything. It’s just that sort of a day. Lazy-reading-day links! Speaking of, I found The Bright Design FREE on archive.org, an excellent resource […]

Papers that originated in Virginia, where we haven’t lived since February 2007. Out with the old, in with …well, not a lot new. I guess technically I’m “planning” our upcoming school year, […]

Let’s use our thinking caps, people!

With thy turned-up pantaloons, And thy merry whistled tunes; With thy red lip, redder still Kissed by strawberries on the hill; With the sunshine on thy face, Through thy torn brim’s jaunty grace; From my heart I […]

No choice here
When speak of forced or coerced abortion, most people think of China with it’s one-child policy and horrific human rights record in forcibly aborting and sterilizing women. However, coercive abortion happens here, too. Either through direct force or non-physical pressure, 64% of women report some form of pressure to abort, with often devastating physical and […]

admirable people, Christianity, conviction, gospel, Jesus, lies, story, things that drive me crazy, truth
About that touching story making the rounds…
You’ve probably seen the story of Pastor Jeremiah Steepek, who went to the church at which he was guest speaking disguised as a homeless man. It’s very convicting and whatnot. And completely made up.

Terrible Tuesday: Meh
This is actually a fairly uneventful Tuesday. Nothing much is happening in the middle of the summer. MTG is traveling, and the Sprite has a double header tonight, but nothing big. Dull-summer links! Speaking of slow, from an excellent article on Charlotte Mason’s philosophy on memorizing: “Although teaching and learning themselves have been motorized by […]
