So far this year I’ve read eighteen books and, for the most part, they’ve been okay reads, but few have wowed me. Much of that is owed to me being a super-picky reader–it’s not easy to make my Favorite list. So when a book does make that list, I have to tell you about it.

Choosing What’s Necessary
Raise your hand if your life seems overly busy, even if all the busyness is for a good cause. My hand is up and I’m guessing most everyone else has their hand raised as well. But just because the task is good, doesn’t mean we’re meant to pursue it. Today I’m over at Sarah Ruut’s Fiction, Faith, & Fun blog …
