Steynianism 121

“With the hearts and souls unbound, Benedict XVI is ministering to minds, now free. This is testament to a certain truth. You cannot minister to a mind if hearts and souls are enslaved. A mind set free is a mind that can learn and grow. A mind mired in oppressive tyranny will atrophy. Benedict’s mission is not simply academic or intellectual. Love sets the stage and always precedes learning- and that lesson is ever present. One cannot teach if there is no real bond between teacher and student. Benedict XVI understanding of proportion, perception and reality serve to highlight and define the real meaning of ‘calling.’“

~ THANK YOU! — “Warman Wednesday, our special fundraiser for the Freedom Five, was a huge success. We raised a lot of money from sales of America Alone and Mark’s other books, and just as importantly we learned that Canada’s beleaguered bloggers have good friends in almost every corner of the earth. The day ended as it began, with readers from New Zealand, Australia and California. In between, as the time zones rolled around, we heard from folks in Asia, Europe, the British Isles, Iceland, the Eastern Seaboard and the North American heartland who all wanted to support the campaign for free speech in Canada. Mark’s autographing arm will be a bleeding stump by the time all the books are signed but we promise to get all the orders processed and in the mail within the next few days.” Here at FreeMarkSteyn, we recommend the Soul Comfort STUMP PROTECTOR. 850 grams of Wool for all your stumpy needs! ….
