Thanks Linda for your passionate and honest message. I will pick a winner for the Frank Schaeffer book tonite. Tweet
I was introduced to the writing of Frank Schaeffer via his book Crazy For God several years ago. I loved the book and wrote about it here. On that post, a reader left a comment asking me if I had read any of Schaeffer’s fiction books. I had not and I tucked that comment away in my brain in hopes that someday it would resurface at just the exactly right moment when I was in need of a new book [...]
We hosted Thanksgiving this year. Twenty-seven of my husband’s closest relatives stayed at our house for four days. We went hiking and played board games and watched ballgames and went to the movies and The Oracle Known as Steve staged a coup and tried to take over my kitchen, but I bravely fended him off with a carving knife, a rusty old egg beater and a very pokey meat thermometer. And yet, even as he bled out from oozing puncture [...]
Because the Christmas tree photo was getting a wee bit tiresome.
With mincing alacrity, Dear Charles takes on Lee Strobel’s “The Case for Christ” and startling questions arise!!!
If your name is P.J. or Ang Ank – there is a very strong chance that you won the recent giveaway at Farmhouse Library. Everyone else – thanks for entering and for reading this strange little blog.
A blog for skeptical weirdos who like to think and read.
Rechelle's personal and often irreverent blog covers gardening, atheism, religion, anglophilia, books and much, much more.
Good morning, Rechelle!
I just sent you an e-mail with my office address. I am looking forward to curling up with 84 Charing Cross Road.
When I read your blog entry, I thought I might have read this a couple dozen years ago. Now I will find out if my brain is functioning properly.
I enjoy your “strange little blog” very much: I would love to sit down some time over a cup of coffee/tea/hot cocoa and have a chat.
Take care, and thanks very much, p.j.
Hey things a re picking you around your blog!!! And yes I still didn’t win!! I can never win at anything!! I spend every morning reading here in your corner of the world!
Holey Moley, that’s me! I will surely enjoy reading this for the very first time. Thank you.
Rechelle,
Thank you so much for 84, Charing Cross Road. It arrived on Monday, and I apologize for taking so long to write my thank-you note. We had a rule with our kids that they could not read/use a present until after a proper note was written.
I have been reading the book in snippets on my light-rail ride to and from work: 8 minutes in the a.m. and 10 minutes in the p.m. (I use 2 different stations on the home end). Yesterday I was so disappointed that someone I know sat with me & I felt I would be rude to read.
I am enjoying the book so much. I may have read it eons ago – or seen the movie. Still not sure. I plan to curl up at home and finish it tonight.
Thanks again for your kindness,
p.j.
