The feeling that “if nothing is happening, nothing is happening” is the prejudice of a superficial, dependent and hollow spirit, one that has succumbed to the age and can prove its own excellence only by the quality of pseudo-events it is constantly organizing, like a bee, to that end.
–Vaclav Habel

Probably the greatest malaise in our country today is our neurotic compulsion to work.
–William McNamara




Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials.
–Lin Yutang

What a wonderful life I’ve had! I only wish I had realized it sooner.
–Colette

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

God doesn’t always smooth the path, but sometimes he puts springs in the wagon.
–Marshall Lucas

What you do every day should contribute to giving your life meaning. If it doesn’t, why are you doing it?
–Don Hutcheson

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.
–Theodore Rubin

Welcome! I’m Sallie, Christian wife, mother, homebody, relaxed homeschooler, autodidact, truth seeker, and digital soldier. Traditional and conservative both theologically and politically. I value freedom to live quiet and simple lives. I don't apologize for being white. Please start here. ♥

Chit Chat

~ Forum thread covering ROE V. WADE ruling by SCOTUS

~ I can't believe I missed the white supremacy/privilege angle. READ THIS: The Assault on Children’s Psyches - California’s ethnic-studies curriculum is fueling a mental-health crisis among teenagers.

~ I'm trying out a daily "Sallie's Stack" thread in the Forum, right at the top.

~ In the process of setting up ads with a new company (Ezoic). I'm aware there are a LOT OF ADS right now. I appreciate your patience while we get it set up. If you turn off your adblocker on my site, I will truly appreciate it. ♥

~ Thank you second quarter donors! ♥ ED, AC, BO (x2), AC (x3), DH (Initials only for privacy)

~ Did you put on the Armor of God this morning? Ephesians 6:10-20
