After trying to chase away the thoughts that say I am crazy to have given up my job and that there’s no way freelance writing will actually work, encouragement came in the form of blogs. The first woman writes from Israel, the second from Ireland. If you’re a freelance writer or want to be, you’d be a fool not to visit their blogs. All I can say is “thank you.”
Now I know exactly what awaits me Monday morning.
Here are a few places you can visit should you want to learn more about the Catholic perspective:
The Catholic Thing and The Faith & Reason Institute.
It looks like those sites provide some interesting articles about politics and other issues that intertwine with faith for better or worse. Browse at your own risk, though; I have not looked enough to know if they are trustworthy.
Since I identify with the Protestant branch of Christianity (though I was born of Catholic heritage), it’s all too easy to forget about how Catholics perceive culture and politics.
On the topic of politics, sometimes it’s daunting trying to keep abreast with all the issues and discerning who tells the truth and whose truth is best. I invite you to leave any links regarding politics and/or religion (of any form) in the comments. May we all stay informed and vote wisely this November.
What do you think of Ayn Rand?
Six years ago I read all but the last 20 pages of The Fountainhead, which I loved and am not sure why I never made it to those final pages. Since then I’ve tried to read Atlas Shrugged, Anthem, and We the Living multiple times, but I haven’t read past the first 50 pages.
I saw Atlas Shrugged on a TV show the other day, and now I’d like to give it another try (please stop me until I finish at least Anna Karenina).
Some seem to love her. Some talk about her philosophy. Others don’t say much, but with that silence seem to disapprove.
What do you think of her books?
