I've recently been browsing on this helpful blog, The Hebdomadal Chesterton, the purpose of which is to provide us with longer portions of G.K. Chesterton's writings than the thousands of one-line quotes one can find online. The host takes passages from many different books by Chesterton. I just read "Too Liberal to Be Likely," which is still quite current, though written in 1925. It consists of a paragraph from The Everlasting Man, a book that got my head spinning delightfully God-ward many years ago when I read it the first time.
Hebdomadal, I learned, means "appearing weekly," which the posts seemingly fail to do, as I look at the dates on the archives. But that's not much of a problem, when G.K.C.'s ideas are so richly provoking, and keep the mind busy for much longer than a week at a time. And if one is hungry for more, there are several links to other places where similar nourishment can be found.

I enjoyed visiting there -- thanks for providing the link. Yes, I can last several weeks pondering one Chesterton passage.
Hebdomadal...but not? That's one reason I don't make any promises about how often I'll post on either of my blogs...it would be so easy to not keep the intention. I suppose I could say, once a year for sure, but even that is going to need a "God willing"...
Thanks for linking this resource.
Cool...my goal is to be hemdomadal, then!
