What Science Doesn't Know

The video above tells the story of Chase Britton, a little boy born without a cerebellum.
According to everything we “know” about the brain, Chase shouldn’t be alive, shouldn’t be able to walk assisted, shouldn’t be able to do many things he mysteriously can do.
I don’t have any point to make except that the human person is remarkable and still a great mystery, even with the human genome mapped.... READ MORE
Transit of Venus
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Friday, June 08, 2012
There is nothing like a NASA video to get us marveling simultaneously at the grandeur of God and the astonishing capability of man.
Here’s video of Tuesday’s transit of Venus, filmed in different wavelengths of light so we can see things not otherwise visible.
I can’t watch something like that without thinking of Psalm 8:
For the leader; “upon the gittith.”* A psalm of David.
O LORD, our Lord,... READ MORE

Don’t tell me these birds are not dancing!
Murmuration from Sophie Windsor Clive on Vimeo.
Matthew 10:29:
Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Feed Your Soul

Yesterday I met my sister-in-law at a park halfway between our homes. From our opposite ends of the state, we each drove toward each other for about 90 minutes and then shared lunch and the joy of chasing our preschool children around a beautiful green-space.
On the drive home, instead of taking the interstate, I decided to find my way back using two-lane highways. It was bliss.
The weather was window-down... READ MORE

Eerily Beautiful

Here’s extremely rare footage of a “leptocephalus”—the larva of an eel.
Isn’t he beautiful?

How An Astronaut Sees Earth
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Saturday, June 11, 2011
This video from NASA is fascinating in its own right, but I love the reflection it inspires in Msgr. Charles Pope.
It reminds me of a quasi-religious experience I had last Memorial Day when, following the parade on the Mall, I took the kids to the National Air & Space Museum to see Hubble 3-D.
The film is a window simultaneously into two worlds: the practical and precision world of all that goes... READ MORE
Conservatives Can Be Hotties Too?
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Friday, June 10, 2011
I am not a prude.
I realize that nothing screams “I am a prude!” more loudly than beginning a blog post with that sentence, but I truly am not the kind of person who usually gets herself twisted in knots over “inappropriate” and “offensive” things she sees online. It’s a big world, I’m a big girl, and I can accept that some people’s standards differ from my own.
So when I happened upon The 20 Hottest Conservative Women in The New Media,... READ MORE
Tell Us, Mary Magdalen
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Family on Wednesday, April 27, 2011
Spare two minutes for what I think is the most beautiful piece of music ever composed?
This is the Easter Sequence, a hymn almost 1000 years old!
May you praise the Paschal Victim,
immolated for Christians.
The Lamb redeemed the sheep:
Christ, the innocent one,
has reconciled sinners to the Father.
A wonderful duel to behold,
as death and life struggle:
The Prince of life dead,
now reigns alive.
