On my drive home

There's a new song on the radio that I like. The fella's name is Andy Griggs.
If Heaven If heaven was an hour, it would be twilight When the fireflies start dancin on the lawn And suppers on the stove and mammas laughin And everybody’s workin day is done If heaven was a town it would be my town Oh…on a summer day in 1985 And everything I wanted is out there waiting And everyone I loved is still alive Chorus: Don’t cry a tear for me now baby There comes a time we all must say goodbye And if that’s what heavens made of You know I, I ain’t afraid to die If heaven was a pie it would be cherry So, Cool and sweet and heavy on the tongue And just one bite would satisfy your hunger And there’d always be enough for everyone If heaven was a train it sure would be a fast one that could take this weary traveler round the bend if heaven was a tear it'd be my last one And you’d be in my arms again repeat Chorus

Here's a few things that got my attention this past week. Chris Taylor is blogging once again and has recruited an air force for the Red Ensign Brigade. Heh. Dennis Prager asks, Are you a liberal? Anglicans and Catholics are getting closer to reconciling -over the role of Mary in the Christian faith. Quote: A working group c...

Ghost in the machine

In writing up this post I have to mention that I am very impressed with the quality of discussion that one finds on blogs. This truly is a remarkable medium. Thanks go to all three of the bloggers mentioned here for providing such good reading and thinking for the rest of us to try and learn from. I have not had a chance to read all of the entries linked to here, but I do intend to. ***** George Will compares two views of man in his latest column . One is novelist Ian McEwan, who places the following words into the mouth of the leading character in his latest novel, Saturday : Endless and beautiful forms of life, such as you see in a common hedgerow, including exulted beings like ourselves, arose from physical laws, from war or nature, famine and death. This is the grandeur. And a bracing kind of consolation in the brief privilege of consciousness. This character is a neurosurgeon. The quote reminds me that there may be some truth to the observation that those in the biological and...
