I did too, until I was 12, and am returning to that (this is why I love Adoration -- we can just be together). In this book, I especially enjoyed the Biblical references to joy (and the funny stories). For prayer, there is a slim volume by another Jesuit priest (Thomas Green) that I found very useful: Opening to God: A Guide to Prayer.<br /><br />Molly, I knew KA lived in your town. Surely you must have tea together once in a while, or I hope you do. If I make it to TX, I'll show up on both your front porches :) Please tell her what great fans she has (I'm sure she has no shortage of them). I will definitely look for her newest book. Love that quote by MT. I am especially delighted by possums and fox squirrels here.Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-57250668195456519422013-04-21T12:46:28.823-04:002013-04-21T12:46:28.823-04:00Love, Kathi's books too.

Out in July from Simon and Schuster. Read about it here: .http://books.simonandschuster.com/True-Blue-Scouts-of-Sugar-Man-Swamp/Kathi-Appelt/9781442366138. <br /><br />On heaven and mirth, hmm, a joke, hmm, I think this is true: <br />Humor must be one of the chief attributes of God. Plants and animals that are distinctly humorous in form and characteristics are God's jokes.<br />- Mark Twain<br />Molly/Cecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14754996366796005745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-24940754124962723662013-04-20T19:02:39.520-04:002013-04-20T19:02:39.520-04:00I'm glad you enjoyed Between Heaven and Mirth-...I'm glad you enjoyed Between Heaven and Mirth--I expected it to be a fun read, but found that it gave me a lot to think about it terms of the way I pray. (I wasn't familiar with some of the Ignatian spirituality, but loved it.)<br />And I've always loved the St. Teresa story. I told it to Lucy a couple weeks ago, and now she goes around sassing God every time she stubs her toe: "You're not gonna get a lot of friends this way, God!" Then she giggles at her own irreverence and says, "I'm just joking with God. He thinks it's funny!" Faith E. Houghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823750019164801104noreply@blogger.com
