RIP Madeleine L'Engle


It seems like my blog has taken a turn for the morbid lately, but I couldn't let the death of one of my favorite authors pass by without some recognition. Madeleine L'Engle's books were inspiring and beautiful. She did more than just tell stories. She brought characters to life. She was able to blend the spiritual with the earthly and show that such is a normal event. My favorite character was Meg Murry. She was smart, not considered a beauty (at first!), and thoughtful. Yet she found that she could love herself and others and could be loved as well. I am so grateful to Ms. L'Engle for creating such a wonderful character.

Often overlooked but what I found most inspiring was Madeleine L'Engle's poetry. If you can, find some in your public library and have a good read. You won't regret it.

So, while I do apologize for the rather sad tone of my posts lately, I hope that you will understand.

Rest in Peace, Madeleine L'Engle. I look forward to seeing you on the resurrection day.

Some eCards


Sorry. My life keeps interfering with my blogging. I wish it were the other way around right now.
So anyway, I found this website called Some eCards. It is pretty funny. Their tagline is "When you care enough to hit send." You can find a card that says pretty much what you are thinking most of the time--and a lot of cards that say what you wish you could say. A lot of the cards are really off-color, so consider this your only warning if you happen to be offended by such things.
I will try to catch you up on my life at some point. Maybe tomorrow???
