Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who greatly delights in his commandments! (Psalm 112: 1)
who greatly delights in his commandments! (Psalm 112: 1)
It goes on to detail all the various ways

he gnashes his teeth and melts away;
the desire of the wicked man comes to nought. (Psalm 112: 10)

As it happens, a number of my posts from
the past week (see links below) deal with the fact that human flourishing

commandments; the same eternal truth is captured in Monteverdi’s ageless music.
Weekly Roundup
It’s starting to feel like summer here at Principium et Finis World Headquarters. This last week saw some old stuff (but Worth Revisiting, as they say), and some new. The theme for the week seems to have been the corruption of this world but, also, the saving Grace of God. After all, our Hope is in The Lord, not in our human institutions . . . thanks be to God.
