He who places his hope on thee, O Virgin all-glorious, will prosper in all he does.

Am I being dull-minded about particular rarified topics? For example, I don't see a lot of good coming out of evil, but some folks do. I don't see a lot of higher meanings, either.
I've come across a new blog wherein the owner expounds on man's free will and God's foreknowledge. Good stuff for folks who have their metaphysical priorities straight.

With new ground to explore, my empirical antennae began to quiver. I asked questions here and here. It doesn't take me too long to get down to brass tacks.
