The first reminds me of the worship service atmosphere at General Convention. The second, taken from the House of Bishops by BabyBlue, herself, shows the charitable manner in [...]

Again, From Peggy Noonan

Posted by Steve Published in Culture, Leadership, Politics

If you don’t know Peggy Noonan, she was one of the prominent speech writers in the Reagan White House. I love her: her vocabulary, her style and her insight. The president seemed like a man long celebrated as being very good at politics—the swift rise, the astute reading of a varied electorate—who is finding out day [...]
