Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere. Blaise Pascal
It’s Veteran’s Day, and here’s something you can DO to help veterans today. Project Valour-It provides voice-activated computer equipment for disabled soldiers. A good cause, don’t you think?
Mrs. Happy Housewife links to several bloggers who should have logged their last post long ago: David Brainerd, John Wesley, Spurgeon, and Pepys. I would add that C.S. Lewis also has a blog: The Window in the Garden Wall. Any other good dead bloggers you know of?
Maybe death is the theme this week. Ariel at BittersweetLife celebrates a bittersweet birthday and remembers that death is one year nearer.
Speaking of celebrations, I’ll bet you didn’t know that “christmas is an ancient tradition that has its roots in SIberian shamanism.” Read all about it.
And here’s another posthumous work of literature, well, sort of. LOST fan that I am, I don’t think I’ll be reading this book unless someone I trust assures me that it’s worth my time and money.

Karl Rove, Joe Wilson, and Valerie Plame all attend the same evangelical church? (From Palm Tree Pundit) What kind of sense does that make?
If you have or are planning to have a baby,Molly at Choosing Home tells you everything you ever wanted to know about wearing your baby, i.e. baby carriers. I wish I had had all this info when my babies were little; I never did find a baby sling or pouch that didn’t make my back ache.
For those whose children are a little older, Barbara of Mommy Life blogs here and here about teaching kids to work and to serve. Good stuff.
Amy has some thoughts about the same subject.
Holly, also at Choosing Home and not to be confused with Molly, writes about Operation Christmas Child. What a great family Christmas project!
Is the role of parent, one male and one female, headed toward obsolescence? James Kushiner at Mere Comments tosses out some ideas on the future of legalities related to birth and parenthood.
Blest With Sons has some great words of wisdom that didn’t quite make the Biblical cut, including this one: “She who mainlines pixie sticks while changing lanes at 75mph lacks wisdom and foresight.” Right.
