Wednesday, November 14th, 2007Cindy had a link to this article at The New Criterion (wow, two articles in a short period of time that were bloggable–I may have to subscribe) Cindy and Kathleen have both talked about the music part of this post, but the thing that resonated most with me because it is a particular pet [...]
Amy Wilhoite
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007I’ve mentioned Amy Wilhoite here a couple of times and had her linked in the sidebar as she’s gone through a terribly difficult time in her life battling Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. She passed away and went Home for her Ultimate Healing yesterday after a few days with a fungal lung infection that caused difficulty [...]
Grit

Grit II
Grit III
These three installments of a Parent’s Review article from the 1890’s plus the Deputy Headmistress’s commentary makes for essential reading. I had wanted to write up a few comments of my own, but I will fall behind in some other things if I do. I have been convinced of the necessity of [...]
Moral Imagination
Thursday, July 26th, 2007The DHM has written a couple of great posts on books, their ability to “awaken the moral imagination”, and “family bickering”.
She says:
I think this Socratic method (asking leading questions) of leading the children to see for themselves that their rights and claims for happiness are no greater than those of the rest of mankind [...]
Thoughts
Sunday, July 22nd, 2007I’m not very good with catchy titles; can you tell? Today’s the first day after a two-and-a-half-week roller coaster ride, where I couldn’t look much at the scenery around me because I was too focused on what was placed right before me. Brenda of Coffee, Tea, Books, and Me wrote this:
We ponder [...]
C.S. Lewis on Newspapers
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007People have been shocked at my opinion that I have found newspapers to be a waste of my time. I really don’t have much to waste! My main problem has been that as much as I would like to be informed of what’s going on in government, I really don’t have much faith that [...]
Totality
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007As I’ve been reading about poetic knowledge and the Jayber Crow way of looking at things more wholistically, it has made me think of certain circumstances in life. I have often been in the position of being asked to justify actions or decisions or opinions which have been long laid to rest by me because [...]
Beauty
Friday, June 22nd, 2007Go listen to this.
There are three videos. Two are for yesterday June 21 and one is for today June 22. The blond girl (at least) is homeschooled.
What do we value?
Wednesday, April 18th, 2007Cindy posted a link to this article almost as an aside because so many of her internet friends already knew about it. I didn’t and didn’t read it right away until I saw it linked also by the DHM. You really don’t want to miss this article. It’s lengthy, so fix a cup of [...]
One small battle at a time
Monday, February 5th, 2007Equuschick (I’m sure my daughter wishes she’d thought of this name for herself.) has posted about her battles with making her bed every morning. I thought it was good because I’ve been thinking about the same thing myself–not regarding bedmaking, but regarding my diet. Maybe if I post about it here, I won’t possibly be [...]
