The other day my 11 year old son walked in as I was watching the news. He is a smart kid and despite our best efforts to shield him from unnecessary anxiety – he knows of the protesting, rioting, racial tension, and political turmoil common in America. He asked a simple question as he saw the report of a riot, “Why are people burning things down?”.
My point in posting this video is not political. I attempt to keep the discourse on this site philosophical; I believe that is where political and societal answers are found. As parents we want to be able to answer our children’s questions intelligently. I am unable to explain the intentions of every maker-of-chaos in this world (that includes myself), but I found this video helpful in unpacking some of the philosophies undergirding modern perceptions and movements.
“Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.” C.S. Lewis
The Philosophy of Motherhood 
Incarnation is even better then philosophy. I’m glad that God did not philosophize from a distance but in Jesus experienced it up close and personal. From that place everything made sense. Jesus asks us to understand things in the same way.

I enjoy your posts because you are experiencing motherhood – the thing which you philosophize about 🙂
