Wise Words on Wednesday: Fishing

“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Don’t teach a man to fish…and feed yourself. He’s a grown man. And fishing’s not that hard.”
Ron Swanson
"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine

“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Don’t teach a man to fish…and feed yourself. He’s a grown man. And fishing’s not that hard.”

Here’s an artist, Jonna Marie, whom I first came across on The Classical Theism podcast:
I’m so confused
I know I heard you loud and clear
So, I followed through
Somehow I ended up here
I don’t wanna think
I may never understand
That my broken heart is a part of your plan
When I try to pray
All I’ve got is hurt and these four words
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be doneI know you’re good
But this don’t feel good right now
And I know you think
Of things I could never think about
It’s hard to count it all joy
Distracted by the noise
Just trying to make sense
Of all your promises
Sometimes I gotta stop
Remember that you’re God
And I am not
So
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Like a child on my knees all that comes to me is
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will
I know you see me
I know you hear me, Lord
Your plans are for me
Goodness you have in store
I know you hear me
I know you see me, Lord
Your plans are for me
Good news you have in store

I went back to St. Ignatius in LA this past week to give them a Lenten talk about temptation and C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters.

I’ve heard some very strange claims by Muslim apologists over the years, but this clip of Yusuf Estes is BONKERS!

“Just when I think you couldn’t get any stupider you go and do something like this… And totally redeem yourself!”
