“I began reading Harper Lee's novel in the skimpy shade of a pine outside my grandmother's house, fat beagles pressing against me, begging for attention, ignored. At dark, I kept reading, first on the couch, a bologna sandwich in one hand, then in my bed, by the light of a 60-watt bulb hanging from the ceiling on an orange drop cord.

I woke the next morning, smelling biscuits, and reached for the book again.”

Worry tests your trust, so hand your children to God and let Him babysit your babies when you're not around. He's pretty good at it!”
