This is where I share quotes from books I'm reading, reviews of books I like, and some of my own thoughts.

We smoked two turkeys. Yum!

Say of the will of thy God, ‘I am content to do it.’ Go through that depressing dimness without yielding to depression and without depressing others. All the resources of heaven are at thy command to enable thee to do this. Take a single promise of God; lean thy full weight upon it, and soon, very soon, thou wilt sing of the Lord because He hath dealt so lovingly with thee.”

Psalm 147
Psalm 147
Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
