Brent and I were unable to connect last night on the phone. He ended up sending me a text. I don’t even know if he received my text in reply. When I tried to call him, I got a Spanish speaking “not in service” type message, “por favor.” It’s good he’ll be home tonight and we’ll get all the news, Lord willing.

I was thankful I had a friend over and we were busy, actually I was busy talking her ear off. We laughed and had a sweet time. I made a delicious new cabbage salad discovered from our friends who had us over at Easter. It’s got sunflower seeds and sliced almonds in it – what salad could be better with those ingredients? I ask you…

Did you know J. R. R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings author) was friends with C. S. Lewis? C. S. Lewis was actually an atheist and an Oxford professor with Tolkien for many years. They would walk and have discussions about Christianity; Tolkien may have been the only one who could talk with Lewis on his level of intelligence. The makings of “Mere Christianity” for sure. I found this fascinating! After our discussion last night, I have resolved to read the “Chronicles of Narnia” again to get a fresh appreciation. It’s been years and I don’t really remember anyway…

Have a great day!
