"The moral imagination aspires to the apprehending of right order in the soul and right order in the commonwealth." - Russell Kirk
“...the medieval universe is finite, it has a shape, the perfect spherical shape, containing within itself an ordered variety. Hence to look out at the night sky with modern eyes is like looking out over a sea that fades away into a mist, or looking about one in the trackless forest — trees forever and no horizon. To look up at the towering medieval universe is much more like looking at a great building. The ‘space’ of modern astronomy may arouse terror, or bewilderment or vague reverie; the spheres of the old present us with an object in which the mind can rest, overwhelming in its greatness but satisfying in its harmony.”
— The Discarded Image, C.S. Lewis
“Civilization is a discipline, an achievement in self-culture and self-control, and the only civilizing agent is a spirit manifesting itself through reason, imagination, and religious inspiration, and giving a sort of mintage to acts which would otherwise be without meaning.” — Richard Weaver

"Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die." — GW

Old habits die hard I guess. The “Wardrobe” is back on the menu, boys.

While men represent 50% of the population they’re responsible for roughly 80% of suicides.
Reach out to a brother today you haven’t spoken with in a while. Pray for him. Call him, text him, stop by and see him. Let him know you’re thinking of him. Let him know he’s important.
Many men go through life living in quiet despair trying to hold it all together. Many men needlessly die for lack of encouragement, lack of love, and lack of hope.
It doesn’t have to be this way. As I heard one man say, “I’d rather have my friend cry on my shoulder than carry his casket.”
Stop what you’re doing and make the call or send the text.

Every challenge we face, every trial overcome, becomes a part of our story — a testament to strength and resilience. Embrace it.

“For people, for place” actually means something. In large part, the Western world is drowning in a sea of sentiments that equate to little more than abstractions. These abstractions widen more and more as the Western world inches closer and closer to the globalist utopia and pushes us further away from the love of the soil right under our feet or the people we can reach out and touch. But love is never abstract, as Wendell Berry once reminded us. Humanity requires the ties that bind - our people, our place. We don’t love our own soil or people because of some abstract idea, we love them because it’s a part of us. The roots run deep. The people that sacrificed and put their faces in this mud so we could walk across their back to a better future breathed the same air and carried the same blood in their veins. And we honor them. We won’t squander our heritage and we sure as hell won’t sit idly by while it gets stolen from us and our children.

Gentlemen: As fathers, we’re called to be the shepherds, providers, and protectors of our family. By the sheer grace of God, a good father leads; he’s the tone setter and moral compass for his family.
A good father provides, cares for and manages the needs of his household. But that provision goes beyond the tangible. A good father provides his sons with examples of how to love a woman, modeling Christ and His Church, how to treat others fairly, and how to work hard — no matter the rewards or lack thereof.
A good father stands ready to defend his family from harm. He doesn’t create fear in his family, he drives it away.
Maybe you didn’t have a good father. Maybe you’re a father yourself and you feel like you’re falling short. Maybe you didn’t start the journey of fatherhood well…but guess what, you can finish well. It’s not too late. It’s what White Boy Summer is all about.
A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.
