Read

Cloud Cuckoo Land

​Join Mr. Doerr’s characters on a quest braided across centuries as they seek to preserve an ancient text that both connects them to each other and encapsulates their greatest and simplest desires.  It really does come together by the end.  You’ll be amazed.

Write

See Ya Later, Alligator: Reflections on Lyle, Lyle Crocodile
​
​Like the Primms, my family also moved to a new city this year.  There was no scaly surprise in my bathtub, but I did have to reflect on a few differences that brought many changes, both tangible and developmental.

Discuss

Project Hail Mary
​
​Consider this book a challenge to all of you who claim to be science nerds.  See if you can follow his experiments, and then consider whether you’d follow this (sort of self-absorbed and spineless) protagonist to the end of the world, and beyond.

Pray

Grace be with us all

​During this month of breast cancer awareness, I lost a writer friend to a recurrence.  A decision to move to hospice care gave her better last months with her daughter and granddaughters, and allowed her to taste so much of the good food she loved.  I mourn your loss, Grace, and I look forward to seeing you again.

Serve

​Feed My Starving Children

I have served on many food ministries in the past, but this operation, however, gave my daughter and I the chance to participate on the ground level – actually bagging the raw ingredients that would be shipped overseas and then cooked by people in need.  Proof all over again that the assembly line really works!
