A writer questions the sanity of her dog and has done something about it. Christine questions Andrew Sullivan’s criticisms of Sarah Palin and does something about it. Her father was killed…

This was the prayer for the morning prayers in Phyllis Tickle’s Divine Hours, originally in The Book of Common Prayer: O God, you have taught me to keep all your commandments by loving you and my neighbor: Grant me the grace of your Holy Spirit, that I may be devoted to you with my whole…
