Thanks so much for that link to Classical Music for Reading, John - I'm sure I'll make a lot of use of it! So glad you're on here and that we're connected.

I’m glad too! Your Psalms reflections (and more) are so beautifully written!

There's a lot I could respond to there John! For now, I'll add a caveat to my vote on the poll. I said that I need quiet, but that's not strictly true. Most of what I read is non-fiction, and for that I tend to need either silence or to be in a very busy public place; for fiction, however, I could happily listen to music, and sometimes do, but it has to be either in German or have no lyrics at all.

One of the best compliments I ever got was from a dear friend who told me I was "real." May I extend the tribute on to you? Loved walking along this mental trail posting with you.

Rest your heel well.

The best response I've ever had to my preaching was a dear lady saying to me on her way out of church, "Oh you do make me feel normal!"

Speaking of a lot to read, I am just getting caught up on a bunch of saved posts, including yours. I love these types of posts - I feel it's a great way to get to know the writer better. Although I will say in my respect for you, I will spare you my true feelings on pumpkin lattes....
