So nice when I hear that some people still “celebrate” our Christian day of rest; so many don’t. The book you are reading looks really interesting, the Wesley’s were an amazing family (if I ever read about Susanna having 19 children, it’s a fact which I had forgotten) and over the years I think I’ve read 2, maybe 3 books about one member of the family or another. I can’t tell you too much about my newest reading endeavor, because I just decided on it today (I have a Christian library which contains somewhere in the range of 1500 books which I’m trying to get through this side of heaven). I can tell you its called “The Eternal Now” and it was written by Paul Tillich, a gentleman born in Prussia in 1886 who immigrated to the USA after being requested to leave Germany when his Religious Socialist views came into conflict with the National Socialism of the ruling party. He ended up as a Professor at Harvard, and on the faculty of the University of Chicago Divinity School. I believe this book was his most famous work and it deals with being in constant contact with God at all times in ones life as opposed to just on certain days, or at certain times, thus, “The Eternal Now”. Anyway, sorry about the length of the comment, I’m a bit of a book nut. I apologize, and the next time I visit, I’ll just say hi.

In reply to Tamara. Ha! Yeah, it is sort of always church hair, but we all have straight hair- except me-and yes, mine can be a BUSH. But that slicked down hair with the part is officially church hair. Long live the lion mane. ;)

In reply to godmadeknown. Ha! You are so right about Mrs. Wesley. Surely, there were lots of tears. I miss you in the blog world. I need to look into this Homeschool Family Camp. The thing is Alan's in school, so he can't get away. Do you have a leave the kids at home, just moms camp???

Looks like a beautiful book! I’d be very curious to read it.
I’m laughing about church hair. Daniel has very straight hair, right? It’s always church hair! Des has very straight hair and even in the middle of humidity, we all look like lions and he just gets a slight wave. Lucky duck.
In the winter, though? The static makes it stick straight up.

Thanks for the shout out! Mrs. Wesley always leaves me feeling very uncomfortable with myself. I’ve always wondered if she didn’t spend all that prayer time under her apron just sobbing “Lord, help me!” Sorry I’ve been so negligent. Still no internet at our new place so blogging and internet communication in general has been pretty much off my radar. Homeschool Family Camp is in two weeks and the next one is in May. Will you still be around then? Still love your blog whenever I get a chance to read it. Keep it up!
