Oh! The Plough article on Tolkien was so good! Thank you for sharing. Film Faramir and film Treebeard have always been gripes for me. It was lovely to see it explained so excellently.
Also, 100% agree about children’s books being beautiful! “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” is currently my 4 and 3 year olds’ favorite book. We read it every day, usually multiple times day.
I helped contribute to the selling out of Bless the Lord! I adore that book. So beautiful. I have been reading it often to my 4 month old son, and I immediately bought a second copy for my goddaughters and nieces.
Hi, I’ve just come across your writings by searching for support regarding NFP. I came across your 2013 blog post on your other page…I’m sorry if this is not the best way to contact you. But, if you have the time, I’m wondering if you could give me some words of encouragement that it gets better, eventually.
Interesting article on feminism. I admit that I haven’t read much of any of the writers she mentions, though most of them I know by name. I don’t have time (or maybe interest) to delve into the philosophical foundations of feminism. All i know is that that many of the impressions I got as a college student in the 80’s were lies about what would make me happy in life, or would be best for my children (who didn’t come till 20 year later--lots of time to think about it). I only have time to look at what my response should be, in real life. Leila Lawler has been a great help in this---certainly not anti-rational/intellectual, just wise common sense: https://likemotherlikedaughter.org/2023/04/feminism-is-a-lie-and-i-help-you-figure-out-what-to-do-about-that/

I loved it, too. And written by a good friend from when we lived in Waco!
Agreed! I’m currently reading the LOTR trilogy and appreciate the insight. Thank you for sharing!!
