Stunning...to Me, Anyway

I read the Granny Miller blog every time she makes a post. She's educated, sassy and is a source of abundant information on many topics. I've learned so much from her. Today she wrote about Wal-Mart's recent venture into Homeland Security. I was shocked. I wrote Wal-Mart an e-mail of my opinion and irritation at the whole thing. It reminded me of the books 1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Eerily similar! And scary!
We've had so many around-the-table dinner discussions at my house referring to both books and how life is today. If you haven't read either books, I highly recommend both. If nothing else, read Granny Miller's post today. You may be just as shocked as I am. My next post will be something crafty; promise!

Children's Christmas Reads

OOooo... this one is a goody! Stories of the Child Jesus from Many Lands by A. Fowler Lutz, printed by Sophia Institute Press, is a treasure of short stories of the Child Jesus. Each story is full of goodness and strong faith and shows that Jesus is with us always. We have been reading a story a day since Friday after Thanksgiving and each story is a delight. For all ages, this book is rich in vocabulary and wonderful for re-telling. Truly a must read for after Thanksgiving/Advent reading!
