LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 159 (May 14, 2008) Well, I’ve been doing bits of boring stuff: getting a bit of clutter organized, though I have a long way to go. For interesting stuff I’ve got the last bits of my book to the publisher and they say they will soon have a couple of sample covers […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 158 (May 12, 2008) And you all thought I was a prim and proper old church lady in her sixties, did you? I was just thinking tonight about how I probably wouldn’t at all fit the image you might have of me. My son has the car for a couple of weeks […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 157 (May 11, 2008) Every once in a while I’ve referred to Philip Yancey’s Prayer: Does it Make a Difference?, a book that I’ve gradually been working my way through.
