Summer Read - Amazing Grace

William Wilberforce’s secret, as revealed in this book, was that he made the journey from self-centredness, achievement-centredness, and political-centredness to God-centredness. And he made it with Christlike JOY.
- From the introduction

Very short, succint- perfect summer reading.

Le mal qui est dans le monde vient presque toujours de l'ignorance, et la bonne volonté peut faire autant de dégâts que la méchanceté, si elle n'est pas éclairée.
~ la peste

The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.

Mothers


To our mother who's in Kazakhstan...

С Днём Матери (Вас)! - (S Dnem Materi (Vas)!)


One of my favorite childhood memories are of the uneventful Saturday morning: sleeping in, and being woken by the tantalizing smell of butter-toasted bagels in a frypan...eggs/mini-sausages...and fruit.  always fruit.  The one time of the week where we might be allowed to watch a few cartoons...stay in our pajamas and read all morning in bed...daydream...  No need to watch the time - no appts to keep, no lessons to attend, no worries.  Those humdrum hours, by far the most missed today.

All our love and respect for the granddam of Mom's side of the family:
