I haven't posted in ages, but I didn't want to miss this chance to jump back in! No time for commentary today, but I think the quote I chose for this month speaks for itself. So, without further ado, here is my favorite Chesterton quote!:
“How can it be a large career to tell other people's children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe?
How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone? No. A woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones for the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness.”
― G.K. Chesterton

Leave it to Chesterton to remind us why we do this!
Gotta love the way Chesterton reminds us in *his* way what a mammoth job this is! And why do we so easily forget, I wonder? We KNOW it's big big big, but we let the culture lie to us and convince us that it's meaningless. Sigh.
