As we pray fervently that the Lord will fill with wisdom the people whose responsibility it is to help us avoid economic catastrophe, here are a couple distractions…
First, two rock song lyrics. A charming line from Kid Rock’s big hit this summer, “All Summer Long,” puts blogging and websurfing in perspective nicely. He is reminiscing about the summer of 1989.
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair”
And here’s a moving line from an old song (as in, from the nineties)–“Just a Girl” by No Doubt. Gwen Stefani is trying to figure it all out, and she sings:
To hold your hand”
I’ve heard the song quite a few times, but never caught that line before. I think it is beautiful.
Lastly, here is an impressive exhortation to conscientious Catholic voting by CatholicVote.com:
