      God, the Lord Jesus Christ loves you! Restore your relationship with God by repenting of your sins and putting your faith in Jesus Christ, "... that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures..." (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

    I've read 43 books this year so far. Finally got my hands on (and finished) The Nature of Nature by Enric Sala. It's the only one to ever receive my 5 stars (even Mary Oliver and Thoreau came up a smidge shorter than 5). It's the single most important book to read today. I might share a soul with Mary Oliver, but Enric Sala translates my heart and mind into words in his work.
