Favorite quote - "I just need to stop by the library and pick up a book." My Father
ReplyDeleteGrowing up this meant we had 2 or 3 hours to spend among the books. Now that my Dad is retired I know I can go with him and get my books and grab a cup of coffee and read. yes, for 2 or 3 hours. Mom knows I'll get him back home for supper.
We do this at least twice a week. He reads about 15 books a week.

ReplyDeleteBeing unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat. By Mother Teresa. gasweetheart211[at]netscape[dot]net
I would choose Max Lucado's 3:16. gasweetheart211[at]netscape[dot]net
ReplyDeleteMy favorite, and the most useful, quotes are from Scripture.
ReplyDeleteThe one that pops into my head the most is "Do not be anxious in anything."
I am a person who loves to "choose a book by its cover." I think a book jacket actually speaks worlds about the quality and creativity of a book. So I would go with Running With Scissors or I Know This Much Is True. I would also ask you which was your favorite of the bunch.
