Just the right amount of suspense to keep them begging for more. It’s wonderful that you love it too! I also read “The Forgotten Door” which had a similar story line.

i was so afraid i’d slip and use a multi-syllable word, and not be able to see it because i’m the one writing. i thought i combed through so carefully, but i found (and fixed) it now! thanks, sis; you’re the editor, now!

I found a 2 syllable word :)

(What are little sisters for, right? *) )

You’ve reminded me of the moment I decided I wanted to study English literature at university. I was eight and had just finished ‘Anne of Green Gables’…

If not I can picture it perfectly. Watching the line stretch out and just waiting for it to snap back. And “the worm” makes me LOL every time too!

I look forward to trying some of these tips out as soon as I can. I pulled my back out last week so I have been out of commission but will be good to go soon! You’ve given me some new motivation!

]]> Comment on bookworm wednesday – love your God with all your mind by Jason http://okieolio.com/2012/02/15/bookworm-wednesday-love-your-god-with-all-your-mind/#comment-1116 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:34:09 +0000 http://okieolio.com/?p=3171#comment-1116 Very good to hear. I’ve had that one in my Amazon wish list for a while. I haven’t had the pleasure of reading him myself yet, but I know Moreland is often held in similar esteem in the Apologetics community as C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Ravi Zacharias, William Lane Craig and Norman Geisler among others.

I always giggle a little when people say that Christianity is for non-intellectuals. Usually, they haven’t looked into it for themselves and so I point them to one of those authors previously listed to see just how logical it can be.

It’s great how our God can engage us equally on both the emotional and intellectual fronts.

My collection can definitely rival yours, but it’s much messier!! :) I drink tea ALL day long too. Usually start the day with green tea w/ fresh squeezed orange juice and honey, more after lunch and then tulsi tea around bedtime.
