Also, I tried to pray for your husband when I was unable to sleep last night. Sometimes I do better at 'offering up' than others. His Dickens chapter in Ironies of Faith makes me want to give some of those titles another reading.♥️
I'm glad you have found Ironies of Faith. It was his first published book, and it's a keeper. Dickens never fails, really. And thank you immensely for the prayers. He is doing better today than is often the case with one of these episodes.
When a body is sick, it feels as though the sickness will never end. He must have a mighty soul to have been given such a cross to bear! 💖
Since I am a badly flawed human, I have a low threshold of tolerance for the maudlin. Little Dorritt isn't one I would care to re-visit, shall we say. I do also read the novels of George MacDonald, and think of him as the Scottish Dickens. God bless you all, and yes, you all continue in my prayers.
Finally, I think that some of the Ironies of Faith chapters could be expanded into stand-alone volumes, when he has buckets of time to do so!😉
Bless you, Debra, for choosing this - as a 95 yr old Christian widow, an American, a Virginian far removed from my home - it resonates through heart, soul and mind profoundly. Prayers for the writer's swift recovery rise...
This is one of the most profound essays of all. Such deep truths, so beautifully expressed. Thank you again and again. Warmest wishes.
Thank you for the gift, a real gift. You are in my prayers.
Great article! Great choice, and great timing.😢

Praying for all of you, especially that Tony feels better soon.
Thank you, Father. He is resting and elevating the bad leg.
