From the sentence above, I wouldn't blame you if you thought that I was interested in him in that sensitive, new-age "who are you really, inside? By Kent Haruf came with the recommendation of Eric. I didn't cry after all. But I was won over by the two crusty bachelors in the novel. T...Celeb...

the pencil reads: Blindness, by Jose Saramago
http://onemillionreads.blogspot.com/2006/04/blindness-by-jose-saramago.html
Posts on articles, books and movies. Blindness, by Jose Saramago. On the recommendation of Eric. I got the book from the library. And buckled down to read it in one obsessive swallow. This is a frightening book, in more ways than one. Personally, it is frightening because I can imagine all of it coming true. My buddy lost her hearing suddenly and inexplicably in October 2004. She simply turned to me and said, "I can't hear out of my left ear." I only raised my eyebrow and said, "Oh? Is also frightening i...

A prodigal life saved by grace. Pop vs Soda vs Coke? As a kid growing up in Kentucky whenever I or anyone else wanted a soft drink, we would invariably ask for a coke.

https://willhumes.net/2015/08/15/quote-o-the-day-the-jesus-creed-by-brian-mclaren
A prodigal life saved by grace. 8220;The Jesus Creed” by Brian McLaren. A while back I ran across this creed while doing some research on the Emerging Church movement, of which Brian McLaren was a driving force. This creed was originally shared at the Emergent Convention, Nashville, May 2004, and can be found here. What do you think about it? We have confidence in Jesus. Who healed the sick, the blind, and the paralyzed. And even raised the dead. He cast out evil powers and. He cleansed the temple. And p...

http://the-shallow-end.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 31, 2006. It is with great sadness that I make this request, but please keep Jen. And Beau and their unborn baby in your prayers. Posted by Gwynne @ 7:15 PM. Links to this post.
