What’s Leftover

This month I read two books that tempted me to compare our current reality with fictionalized pseudo-apocalyptic and otherwise completely restrictive living situations.  Walk with me through The Leftovers and Room and hope with me that when all of this is over, we’ll retain some semblance to who we want to be.

What We Carry

At a time when I was repeatedly disappointed by losses of connection to the writing community, I got to sit in on a virtual talk with author Maya Lang.  Her readings, and the free copy of her memoir that the publisher offered me, proved soothing comfort and encouragement to keep writing.

I Capture the Castle

We highly recommend this book, especially if you’re “cocooning” during this pandemic, as we were happily engrossed in Cassandra's bubble and didn't even pay attention to the fact that the story was set almost 100 years ago.  We also appreciated the similarly timeless English tendency to relate scenarios back to Austen.  If you missed this back in 1948, grab a copy and enjoy a laugh!

Born Again This Way

Back in March I attended Rachel Gilson’s book launch and was blown away by her articulate and persuasive voice.  I was able to swipe a free copy of the book from the back of the church on my way out, but I encourage you to grab a copy of your own.  You may know what the Bible says about same-sex relationships.  Then again, you may, like me, find yourself surprised to hear it through Rachel’s words.

Rethinking Fight Strategy

COVID is the closest thing to a world war my generation has seen.  Like so many others, I have wanted to join the fight.  But very quickly, I realized that I didn’t know how.  With so many aspects of our life evolving during this time, perhaps it’s no surprise that I needed to shift my own strategy for serving.
