Look! Over there!

Today, in lieu of coming up with any original ideas of my own, I've got some well-chosen words of others to which to point you.

First on the list is Fr. Jake, with some thought-provoking views on patriotism, peacemaking and piety. A wake-up call, first thing in the morning.

Meanwhile, Songbird is approaching the death of a friend and parishioner with poetic grace. The whole issue of death has been a theme around here the last couple weeks, for one reason and another, so this was a gift to read-- and to share.

And to cap it all off, a maternal rant from the Yarn Harlot that left me, you should pardon the expression, in stitches, laughing at the life's truths we seem to share. Check it out.
