Your last p...These are all beautiful ideas, Ruthie. Your last post was wonderful. Your descriptions of the ice storm made me wish I lived in a cold climate. Wait, I do, and we're getting a major storm today. Hehe<br /><br />I can't wait till I have time to read again. It took months to finish Phantastes. You might like it. Keep in mind while reading it that MacDonald's famous definition of hell is, "I am my own." Knowing this, the book was more deep and meaningful. On the surface it's just a fairy story.<br /><br />xoxoLaura Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271902139691071929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499557745781133521.post-11513960695917593482014-02-19T15:20:34.017-06:002014-02-19T15:20:34.017-06:00I like hymns, too, and Fernando Ortega on Pandora....I like hymns, too, and Fernando Ortega on Pandora. I like sunshine and blue skies, but when it is dreary and cold, I like to plug in my little space heater that looks [a bit] like a wood stove and curl up with a book near the cheesy fake flames. I love to go for walks, and I just found a nearby mega church with an indoor playground that has a walking path around it... an added benefit is that my Bible study meets in that church, and there is usually somebody from Bible study who is also staying to walk. I love hot chocolate, and I've found that any hot chocolate mix (my homemade, or store-bought in a pinch) tastes fantastic if you add a couple of tablespoons of real unwhipped whipping cream. I love if I ever get a long, chatty email from someone. I love talking to my sister on the phone, and I have learned so much from the wise woman she has become. I've benefited so much when she calms me down and gently talks me out of a selfish mindset. I love when Jesus surprises me with an unusual beauty in His creation; that is one of the very best things of all.ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293058709021665140noreply@blogger.com
