A regular at
The Blog of the American
Chesterton Society

& Mrs. Brown’s
Flying Stars,

Dr. T has re-ignited

GKC’s Favourite,

as well as starting a blog featuring
original short stories:

Dr. Thursday’s Stories.

It’s been a long time since I’ve
stomped those blogs…

I wonder if they’d remember me?

“Look at this other one, who seems to

want to give his whole life for God, whose

ardor all the torments there are cannot

damp. A tiny bit of scandalmongering …

a word of calumny … even a slightly cold

reception or a small injustice done to him …

a kindness returned by ingratitude …

immediately gives birth in him to feelings

of hatred, of revenge, of dislike, to the point,

often, of his never wishing to see his neighbor

again or at least of treating him coldly with

an air which shows very plainly what is

going on in his heart. And how many times

is this his waking thought, just as it was the

thought that almost prevented him from

sleeping? Alas, my dear brethren, we are

poor stuff, and we should count very little

upon our good resolutions!” – Source

Thanks to Terry from Abbey-Roads2.
Eric, over at The Daily Eudemon, wrote a
very interesting article on St. John Vianney
as well.

Great work BMP!

“… it’s Mildred’s baby!”

Which is what I believe the line
was in the photo Terry posted
from the movie Desk Set, one
of my favorites starring Spencer
Tracy & Katharine Hepburn…

Used to help illustrate Terry’s
autobiographical story, as he
continues with its next chapter,
over on Abbey-Roads.

Found a neat ‘Special Projects Blog’

Very nice!

A Christmas Carol

rhapsody — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 18:37:42 +0000

By G.K. Chesterton

(& copied from a post by Eric
@ Chesterton and Friends.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary’s lap,
His hair was like a light.
(O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all aright.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary’s breast,
His hair was like a star.
(O stern and cunning are the kings,
But here the true hearts are.)

The Christ-child lay on Mary’s heart,
His hair was like a fire.
(O weary, weary is the world,
But here the world’s desire.)

The Christ-child stood on Mary’s knee,
His hair was like a crown,
And all the flowers looked up at Him,
And all the stars looked down.

A Pachabel Connection?

Between recent pop hits &
the melancholy ‘Canon in D’?

Whether you hear it or not,
the question was posed as a
result of an interesting
(& entertaining) post from
Dawn Eden @

The Dawn Patrol.

Funny!
