Benedict Option: For Christians with Expanding Brains

I just keep coming up blank for anything to say about the Benedict Option. Everything there is to say has been said by others. Recently there's been great stuff from Keith and Sam Rocha. Going back a little further there's me in 2016 and me in 2015, etc. Oh, also Keith in 2015. And of course Bruce Frohnen's in 2015.

Oh wait, here's another good one I did in 2015.

Right now, all I have left to say about the Benedict Option can be summed up by use of the expanding brain meme.

PS - Here's a prophetic post from Keith from 2014. But... I mean, here's the whole list, have at it, man.

Gawd dangit, Bobby!

Can you believe it? Rod Dreher's Theology not only has its own church in his backyard. It has it's own internet meme.

The above was my favorite. The Benedict Option will serve Alsatian Riesling. Nice pairing. I think there should be a lot more of these. Now that we know about them I expect the shortage will be over soon.

Good Point by Rich Lowry on "Katrina moment" meme

From his National Review article:

The Katrina analogy is both over the top and too generous. It is over the top because the border influx isn’t a deadly catastrophe swallowing an American city. It is too generous because Bush didn’t do anything to bring on Hurricane Katrina, whereas Obama’s policies are responsible for the influx of immigrants from the border. It is, in the argot of his administration, a “man-caused disaster.”

I didn't like the analogy to begin with. Analogies can be dangerous. Yes, Bush may have not optics correct during an acute disaster, but Obama has done everything wrong on this crisis which he brought about himself.
