Judah's Swinging Epiphany

Self Learning

This morning Judah pointed out a mole on my big toe I had never seen before because I can't see it without contorting my foot. That is not one of the things I expected to learn about myself by having kids.

Good Catch Ed

Ed Morrissey points out that Obama's is responsible for the very thing he accused George Bush of only in a shorter amount of time.

I also find it insincere when the Tea Party is blamed for anything regarding the budget deficit when they had no power when massive spending increases occurred under a Democrat controlled legislative and executive branches. What ever happened to the "pay as you go" plan proposed by then candidate Barack Obama. Even if his own party was the downfall of the plan (though he never stuck to his guns when signing bills) how is this the tea parties fault? They simply want to cut federal spending, and somehow after winning elections they are expected to abandon their promises to enable a conflicting ideology in government they were sent to oppose.

Three Myths about Capitalism

Myth 1. Being pro Capitalism means being pro big business.
Myth 2. Capitalism generates and unfair distribution of income.
Myth 3. Capitalism was responsible for the recent financial crisis and the recession.

Singular "They"

To be consistent, those who object to the use of the singular "they" should refrain from using the singular "you" as well.

Rejected!

She has been starting to sign lately too, though she doesn't always do it at the right times. Exciting!

Children and Work

Everyone sits quietly at their desks, thinking and thinking, just when they’d rather be out tending cows or weeding the garden.

Certain homeschooling styles would be the exception. I do wonder in what ways I can include my son in my tasks around the house. We are not farmers, so there remains anything I do with my tools. The problem is that tools can be very destructive, esp. in the hands of a three-year-old. But he wants more than anything to use the tools. Sometimes I let him bring tools to me, and I gave him his own ratchet screw driver to attempt driving in screws on occasion. "When you're older" seems to be an acceptable reason for rejecting his every request to handle my tools.

Piper on Holy

On I Corinthians 7:13-14

Perhaps it refers to the “sanctity” of lawful marriage and legitimate children. The marriage is still lawful (though one is an unbeliever), and the children are legitimate (though born of this mixed union). The “sanctity” (holiness) of marriage and birth are not compromised.

Corraborotion...

Then Jewett, shows from Jewish sources like the Mishna, that the Hebrew stem for holiness (kadash) is used in just this way at least ten times, signifying the setting apart of a woman to be a man’s wife. “A man ‘sanctifies,' that is, espouses, a wife by himself or by his messenger”.

Comparison Between Grades and Income

Of course grades have a cap of 4.0. Income does not. But why shouldn't someone determine that your 4.0 is excessive, based on privilage and that others have a right to your accomplishments?

Wilson on Trump

...when the respectability police shut down intelligent discussion of hot issues, they only succeed in getting fruitcake discussion of them. Take a page from the gun rights advocates. When controversial opinions are outlawed, only outlaws will have controversial opinions.
