"I like Tom Bombadill. He's funny." - William

“To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which every desire promote the prosecution.”

Love hearing my son say Sam Gamgee is his favorite character thus far. Love reading this again and live reading it with my kids!

“He then is first who loves Christ; and second, he who loves and cares for those who have believed on Him. For whatever is done to a disciple, the Lord accepts as done to Himself, and reckons the whole as His.”

“Not everyone is obliged to excel in philosophy, medicine, or the law, nor are all equally favored by nature; but all are destined to live in society and practice virtue.”

I mean why not read it again?

“Early Christian voices tell us again and again that whether we are guest or host, we must be ready, ready to welcome, ready to enter another’s world, ready to be vulnerable. At the same time, the readiness that opens into hospitality also leads to repentance. Hospitality shifts the frame of reference from self to other to relationship.”

To my joy I have found another!

The past use of the word education referred to “child-rearing.” Thought provoking for today!

“Aristotle points to the unique character of the hand when he calls it the tool of tools. The philosophic tradition saw the human hand as specially fitted to carry out the designs of reason, and biology too notes its uniqueness among all animals. The hand is where reason most engages the human body and work.“

Interesting things to ponder.

Beneath the pressing awful weight
Of Adam’s primal sin,
The human race resides in hate
And loves the death within.
With such, persuasion works in vain.
These bones will not be led,
But God takes captives in His train—
His preachers raise the dead.

Mark the word, & guard your pleasure; He whose will transcends all measure Placed within His halls a treasure For those of low degree. Sacraments will feed the lowly; Love the kind, & fear the holy, Honor God, & serve Him only— He has adopted thee. Call for faith, & in faith wonder At this reign of silent thunder. Apostles & the prophets plunder— The devil’s house has fallen under; The words of Christ run free.

An unexpected delight.
