This was never intended to be a political blog.

However, I have two things to share.

The first is this article by Gerald Warner in the UK Daily Telegraph.

The second, I will blog about later in the week—after I snap a photo of the spectacle.

She Who Would Valiant Be

(A Hymn for Rebecca by John Bunyan, 1684)

He who would valiant be ’gainst all disaster,
Let him in constancy follow the Master.
There’s no discouragement shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim.

Who so beset him round with dismal stories
Do but themselves confound—his strength the more is.
No foes shall stay his might; though he with giants fight,
He will make good his right to be a pilgrim.

Since, Lord, Thou dost defend us with Thy Spirit,
We know we at the end, shall life inherit.
Then fancies flee away! I’ll fear not what men say,
I’ll labor night and day to be a pilgrim.

Note to self.

When performing science experiments, it is important to keep up with them.

Seeds do not sprout unless they stay moist. For days. On end.

Dried out paper towels are not conducive to studying much of anything.

This Times (of London) article is an interesting read about missions work in Africa. I'm posting it here courtesy of Zero Updates, who posted in on FaceBook but not on his blog.
