Four books and some great links

On this November Day

I went out to do an errand and on the way found

a book sale with really good prices.

So I got these four books!

First,

pictured above,

And Mrs Carter Wore Pink

which is beautifully illustrated

and I think I am going to find a nice quiet solace

of a book in it.

I had one of these books when I was a kid -

the one I had was on Louis Pasteur

and had the theme of 'you can do it';

I loved that book so much that I asked my

long-suffering Mom to read it to me over and over;

so much that I told my Preschool Teacher about the boy in the book

who was bit by the rabid dog

and the next time she saw my Mom she asked about

how that poor neighbour boy was doing

and it took a minute for my Mom to realize I was telling the teacher

about the book!

I love Olivia!

Can you believe I got this book,

with dust jacket intact

for only 1.00!

All 4 books were 1 dollar each so not bad for 4.00.

So something very good in the day

even if I did not get those two jobs,

*sniff*

Also wanted to be sure to share some cool links with you that

I have enjoyed of late,

just in case you did not see them...

A new post by Fr. Stephen on suffering and the 1-storey universe

...if you have not read Fr. Stephen's writing on how we

in the West have lived like we live in a 2 storey universe

when really it is a 1 storey universe,

I would take a look and read.

Fr. Gabriel Bunge who wrote the lovely book on

Rublev's Trinity

has recently been received into the Orthodox Church;

I encourage you to read the link; it is beautiful.

I loved this recent Saint Story on Saint Anastasia the Roman

and how she saved a man when the Theotokos asked her to;

it is a sweet and comforting.
