Mommy Brain

I’m in the middle of A Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell and it is breathtaking. I posted a passage from the book on my other blog, Mommy Brain’s Passages. I encourage you to check it out. It’s quite long, but well worth it. It involves a great answer to the question, “Why does a good God allow suffering in the world?”

I am not reading this book as fast as I normally would. I’m having trouble keeping focused — not because the book is not worth my attention — but because I’m so excited about our anniversary get-away at the end of the month. So far everyone is staying healthy, and we’re not taking any chances! Only 17 days to go!

Waiting and waiting and waiting….
