For the past 3 days I have been plodding through an essay (actually Chapter 4 of a book called The Great Heresies) by Hilaire Belloc that I find recondite, but interesting. The subject is The Great and Enduring heresy of Mohammed. It purposts to trace the history of “Mohammadism” from its rise through present day. Since Belloc died in 1953 — “present day” is before a lot of the members of this class were born.
I am left wondering what Belloc would think today, since many of the gains of “Christondom” have slipped away in the last decade. I found this piece posted on Free Republic and printed it for reading and before I realized that it is 26 pages long.
And what is teacher’s reason for being late today? Is it a storm?
Not another storm, thank God. A sinus infection. Was unable to sleep last night, slept in this morning, then woke up realizing I had to hustle to make my doctor’s appointment. Was there forever. I came straight home to post the classroom. I just ran out for my antibiotics. I hope they work. My head is exploding with pain.
