I'll be taking an indefinite break from X. I'm not sure for how long I'll be gone, but it will be a while. If you are so inclined, I would appreciate prayer for clarity, conviction, and wisdom.
Found this book in the cottage I grew up in. Look at its contents: virtue, philosophy, homemaking, history, geography, walking routes, anthropology, overt references to the Christian God - all in an annual for girls from the 1920s. It is astonishing how far we have fallen.
