The next post from my daughter. ==== Ciudad Blanca Below is part three of the Andes series. Part two of the series is The Mountains. Looking back, I was very upset with people who considered the only “important” thing to be “progress” and would completely ignore history if possible. But to someone who has been […]

The Mountains – Part 01
With my daughter’s permission, I reprint below the beginning of a series from her blog. I think you will like this series over the next couple of days as much as I have. It will give you an insight into the land where we lived for a decade and where our daughters spent a good […]
Marriage and permanency
When I first saw this comic today, I read it quickly and was mildly offended at the mother’s comment in the second panel. Then I reread it and realized that I did agree with it. You see, at first I had read the second panel from the sacramental viewpoint. From the view of God’s desire […]

Never Ceese and Augustinian Original Sin
