It's kind of funny: I'm always reading at least two books. (And I say at least because sometimes it is more but it is rarely less.) Usually it breaks down into something frivolous and something more serious. A lot of times the quotes I choose for my Words on Wednesday posts come from the more serious thing I'm reading.
Well, not this week. This week's quote came from a magazine article. Even stranger than that is the fact that it's not a magazine I usually read and someone at church passed it on to me so I could read a different article. But of course I ended up reading the whole thing, as one does.
An article by Holley Gerth was my favorite thing in the magazine and this quote really grabbed me:
I don't know about you, but my December often feels like a lot of busy. It feels full in good ways, but also in not so good ways.
Jesus came (we could pause on those two words right there, couldn't we? JESUS - Eternal son of God, CAME - to Earth as a Redeemer for us) and the truth of those two words ought to change everything. I don't want to forget that as we bustle around trying to see everyone, do everything we ought to do, and be everywhere we're supposed to be.
Life to the full sounds pretty good to me.
Just goes to show you that inspiration can be found anywhere.

Raybourn excels at witty dialog and somehow managing to make ridiculous scenes and plots feel plausible. This one is lighter than her Julia Grey series and I will definitely read the next installment.

Nothing new this week. Just working on clearing the stack a bit. Philip is trying to help me by stealing books from my stack. (OK, it isn't to help me, but I don't mind sharing books as long as he gives them back before they're due.)
