Hey snorks!! Yes, I too compose literary masterpieces and clever comebacks galore at times when they are completely unneeded. *sigh* Missed you tons at Thanksgiving too! I’m still jealous that you were there with Mom and Dad! Being the only child can be fun sometimes! You just have to enjoy the advantages! (: Love you lots! Call me to chat!!

I am rereading the Anne of Green Gables series and SOBBING. I think it may be a serious sign of a hormonal imbalance that I am so affected by the little red headed snippet. I’ll let you know how describing my symptoms to a doctor goes, “no, just reading adolescent fiction. No, NOT Twilight…”

You make me giggle! I develop wonderful plotlines and character sketches for what would no doubt be the ultimate Great American Novel whilst staring at the ceiling on those sleepless nights. THEN…sleep comes and erases my masterpiece. I feel your pain. ; )

I was considering it. I suppose I already have a few more, if you count the times I've read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Five Little Monkeys and Freight Train to Asher. :-) He's fascinated by books.

Well, I think you could read a few beautiful, delightful picture books so you can reach your goal of 100 books read this calendar year=)

Hi Coral. Thinking about you lately, always seem to in November. You’re right, five years, or fifty will never be too long. I still think about Cori all the time. The oddest things remind me of her. Sometimes I really wish I had gone to her funeral, and been there with you. Said a prayer tonight that you will find some comfort here on earth.

“I was thinking about this particularly because sometimes when you see the scars of grief on someone you love your heart breaks all over again.”

So true. Over and over again I experience. Just recently, God brought a woman across my path. Instant friends we became because of a shared grief; she had just lost an almost full-term baby in utero. Her heart was broken and mine was too watching her.

I’m going to venture to say that mourning over death and mourning over sin kinda sorta amount to the same thing: the wages of sin is death. To my senses, repenting (mourning over) sin feels different from the tears that come from the grief over losing loved ones. But I think probably it’s a lot more intimately connected than it feels like.

And as for what you said about not ever really getting over it in this life, and people mourning in different ways, and how some of us may mourn “too long” in others’ opinions, all I can say is “Amen, sister! You said it!!!”

Personally and corporately (CCPC) we pray regularly for Rueben and now Jonathan. So glad you got to spend some time with him.

That’s a hilarious thought about Dickens, most of whose work I have abandoned before reaching the getting really into it. The only exceptions were an ugly mustard yellow version of Oliver Twist I read from the library and A Tale of Two Cities, which I read in college.
