In honor of marriage and in celebration of true love...
A dear friend of mine, who is a lover of G. K. Chesterton and frequently posts excerpts from his writings, posted this on his facebook today. I thought is was so beautiful, profound and true that I couldn't help but share it.
"The revolt against vows has been carried in our day even to the extent of a revolt against the typical vow of marriage... It ( Read more... ) -
Modern art...philosophy can be summed up as a Burger King commercial.
While looking for a quote from Maxfield Parrish regarding modern art (that I still can't find --so frustrating), I came across this amusing article by Brad Holland about art and postmodernism.

The First to Throw...
I have heard high praise regarding this movie which is based on the true story of a woman falsely accused, by her husband, of adultery in order that he may marry a younger woman. It is hard to believe that stoning still exists. It seems ludicrous. My free, safe, American mind rebels at the idea.
The critics are calling it poignant, painful and ( Read more... ) -
Oh, I want to be in that number...
Because it puts me in a foot tappin' mood, puts a smile on my face, and includes two of my favorite men...
