A Parting Shot

Here's a question inspired from Gilead. If you could grab a book immediately before you fell over dead, and thereby call your posterity to pay that text special attention, which one would you choose? Of course, the Bible is exempt.

The main character in the novel, before dismissing the whole idea as self-defeating, thought of falling with Calvin's Institutes (2nd volume) in his grip. I'm ashamed to admit my choice would be much less impressive. Maybe Pilgrim's Progress, or even Stepping Heavenward. Perhaps my i-Pod!

What about you?

This comment is off the subject, but just wanted you to know I was thinking about your adoption process and praying that things go well this month! So glad you are in your house now, too. Hope you get it to enjoy it for AT LEAST 2 years!

Thanks very much! We are very happy here, so we'd really like to stay for a while.

The birthmother we are matched with is due this Sunday! As of last week she was still intending to follow her adoption plan, so things still look good!
