How Much Do You Have to Hate Someone Not to Proselytize?

Francis Schaeffer on the Origins of Relativism in the Church

Words to Remember

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Okinawan Soba and the Newest Addition to the Blogroll

I was googling for recipes for Okinawan soba--a kind of noodle soup that is apparently much-beloved by certain members of the RyuTe Renmei--and found a very detailed post by one "Sharon," of Westchester, New York. It is excellent, and if anyone is even remotely interested in finding out about the subject, I recommend it highly.

Sharon's blog, The Good Life, is also the first food-related blog to make my blogroll. It's very well done overall, and you can find the link in the "Hard to Categorize" section of the blogroll.

    Why thank you very much for such a sincere, kind shout out. I hope you try the soba. It's a long process, but very very worth it.

    You're welcome! You're a good writer and it was fun to read about. I will probably try it eventually, but I bet I end up cheating by putting the dough in my bread machine and running it on the "dough" setting for a little while instead of doing the kneading by hand.
