So my endtable usually ends up being cluttered with stuff. Stuff
that I am working on. A drink. A bottle. Books that I want to read or
am reading.
Sometimes the books I put there get devoured very quickly and sometimes they are slow starts but then I pick back up and love them. Some never get finished. On my endtable right now are three books: the bible, Strong Poison, and Mother Love.
The Bible I put there after a talk by one our local priest Father Scott Courtney. He talked about how important it is to read the Bible so we know and love Jesus. He is the Love of our lives and this is one of the best ways to get to know him. I need to pick it up more often and it being there is a reminder of this.
Strong Poison is a mystery by Dorothy Sayers. One of her other books came recommended and so I start with the first of the Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries and have been working my way through them. They are quite enjoyable adventures into the world of early 20th Century England.
Mother Love is the prayer book of the group Christian Mothers. It has many wonderful prayers coming from the rich history of my Catholic faith. It helps to have the knowledge that I am surrounded by the saints that came before me that have fought the fight. Some of them mothers, some of them priests, or sisters, but all of them loved our God with their very hearts and beings.
Surrounding myself with books is part of who I am and each book continues to shape who I am…
