Music Monday: Less of me

Today’s song is another from Tori Harris, a mellow number called “Less of Me”…

Lord, here I am
Here are my hands
they’re fragile, they’re small and they’re empty
but I give them to You

Lord, here I find
Here is my mind
It’s ignorant, it’s dim and it’s prideful
But I give it all to You

May there be less of me and more of You
May there be less of me my God
May there be less of me and more of You
May there be less of me my God
Because I’m small and I’m fragile and I’m empty
But I give it all to You

Lord, I’ll be still
Here is my will
It’s stubborn and it’s selfish and it’s weak
But I give it all to You

Love come quickly! Fall upon me! x3

Consanguinity Chart

Okay, this is admittedly a bit random, but I’ve recently had several conversations about what makes someone a 1st or 2nd Cousin and what makes one once or twice removed.

So, with the goal of using this to win all future arguments, here is a diagram which shows the different names used for different levels of consanguinity (literally, “with the same blood”):

Wise Words of Wednesday: The Coming madness…

We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which furious party cries will be raised against anybody who says that cows have horns, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening a mob with the news that grass is green.
