Thoughts From Jo - Volume III Part I 07-18-07

And so the journey continues...to find the perfect balance between the books I own and the new books that call to me from the Christian Book catalog. It's a struggle each time I get a new catalog. What to do? Request a new book from the library or read one that has been sitting on my shelf for 5 years. Which book should win this endless debate? The answer continues to remain unclear to me. I guess somewhere in each of us there's a desire to read 3 books at once (or maybe that's just inside me!). Well, either way I shall continue to read and enjoy the books that these fine writers bring to us. I find myself laughing and crying and wondering at the scenes in so many books. Please continue to read as many books as you can find the time for, but remember to pick up those books that have been collecting dust for so many years. I believe I have a date to read Sisterchicks on the Loose. One day soon I'll have to keep that date. Well, I hope that my many reading friends continue to enjoy the joys of this site. Soon there will be over 50 Spark Starters from me here!!! What a landmark!! Tell your friends to come check out all there is to enjoy. I miss those of you in Minnesota; you are too far away. Remember, when in the lovely state of Pennsylvania, you should make a reservation at The Inn on Chestnut. Hugs to all!
