“You know how it is Al- we got no choice when it comes to parents and some of them are woefully underqualified.”
Rick Yancey, The Seal of Solomon

“Without the Mexican labor much of the city’s infrastructure wouldn’t be built.”
PBS Latino Americans Documentary

“Technology is amazing. We humans are more connected than ever, but sometimes it can disconnect us from people we love most.”
Brad Montague and Robby Novak

J. Budziszewski
“God could have made a single self-sufficient sex that felt perfectly complete and didn't long for anybody, but He didn't. Why not?

Do you know what I think? I think God made us male and female because we need to long for each other. It's not good not to long for someone; it's not good to be absorbed in yourself. Somehow, each of us needs to get out of self. With the help of God's grace, the marriage of a man and woman can make that happen. Solitary sex can't do that, it sinks him into a looking-glass idol of the self. Casual sex can't do that, it merely uses the other for the purposes of the self.

But a marriage with Christ at the center of it pulls you right out of yourself. It teaches each partner, the husband and the wife, to forget about self for a while in care and sacrifice for the other. We come to ourselves by losing ourselves.”
J. Budziszewski

“You need to understand something, boy. The world you see outside of you is a reflection of what you have inside of you. If you are one of those people how only sees problems and darkness and despair, then that is all there is ever going to be for you. But if you are one of those people how sees hope, opportunity, and love, then you can make a difference”
Lucy Calkins, Pathways to the Common Core: Accelerating Achievement
