On the Shelf: A Misnomer
Or is it? This week, I am sad to report, I read exactly one-quarter of one book. This was not intentional–in fact I had plans. BIG plans. Lots of reading and writing plans. What does God do when we make plans? Yeah, I’m pretty sure that somewhere up there, the universal deity is having a…
