"...And no book long enough to satisfy"

"I am a product of endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. There were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic, books of all kinds reflecting every transient stage of my parents' interest, books readable and unreadable, books suitable for a child and books most emphatically not. Nothing was forbidden me. In the seemingly endless rainy afternoons I took volume after volume from the shelves. I had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass."
— C.S. Lewis

Hymn

If I flee from greenest pastures, would you leave to look for me?
Forfeit glory to come after, 'till I only dwell in Thee.

BDE (Best Day Ever)

Reasons why today is a good day:

1) Carrie Peterson will be on staff at FMMC next year.
2) I will be a third year at FMMC next year.
3) The first two statements put together make me really really happy.
4) I got a zebra Snuggie in the mail today. Be jealous.

Want vs. Need

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want." -- Psalm 23:1

As much as I want, God knows what I need.

In the eye of the beholder.

I'm watching a little girl who has no legs play baseball in her gym class right now. It's beautiful.
