But, I will concede that in the faerie tale, we often see justice and mercy literalized on a level that disturbs us adults. I remember the slight...

Yogh and Ash and Thorn. Devonian Corals →. Things My Father Taught Me. June 15, 2015. Earlier today, the pastor of my parents’ church asked Facebook, “What’s the best thing your father taught you? I found that I was hard-pressed to give one solitary item, since my dad has taught me so much: in words, by his example, and by virtue of what he emphasized in day-to-day life. He catechized me well, taught me the principles of being a good student, and gave lots of other pieces of practical advice. Is there a ...

Here be the wit, wisdom and wordiness of some of our heroes, packaged in nice little bite-sized chunks. Peruse, ponder, or prevaricate over any of the thoughts here! In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die. 8220;Literature adds to reali...

Things My Father Taught Me →. Yogh and Ash and Thorn. June 10, 2015. Back in May, I shared Peter Bellamy’s setting of Rudyard Kipling, noting that I’d stumbled over it thanks to the glory and munificence of the internet. More specifically, I was contemplating Anglo-Saxon words that start with an ash or a thorn, and came across this parody by Catherine Faber. Yogh and Ash and Thorn. Some time between the year fourteen-ought-five and -fifty-one. There was a strange and radical change in spoken English done.

August 7, 2015. Heh Chuck is doing another X meets Y pop culture challenge. I got Snow White meets The Terminator. I also worked in a little something for #WOW555. Here’s 1085 words:. Sire, may I see it? The king sighs. You’ve seen it before, Jarvis. Yes Mi’Lord, I ask only to allow a young artisan to sketch it. We may learn to augment the infirm.
