Folks are leaving town for the holidays, and I am now on holiday as well. And what that means for a blogger like me is that there are two things that are certain. 1) I will probably have time to write a number of posts over the next few days, and 2) most of them will go unread.

Last updated on: December 27, 2014 at 10:52 pm By Frank Weathers

For Thoughts on Atheism by the Father of Empiricism UPDATED

Last updated on: January 22, 2015 at 7:56 pm By Frank Weathers

Remember my affection for the Harvard Classics, the Five Foot Shelf of Books? Admittedly, I haven’t looked them over much since I became a Catholic. Not because I’ve outgrown them, but because there have been far too many other books to occupy my time since the spring of 2008.
