You’ve encouraged me that re-reading the book again was a wise move before I see the movie. My daughter will be out of school in a few weeks (she’s a teacher) and she wants to watch the movie with me!

I felt so confused when I watched The Lord of the Rings movies until I finally read the books. Books usually do win! 🙂

I think this is my 3rd time through A Wrinkle in Time. I don’t know that I’ll read through the whole series again, but I definitely enjoyed this jaunt back through book 1 anyway! If you do read it again, you’ll probably find that it goes much quicker the second time around. It did for me.

My natural tendency is to be a hermit as well. I usually am glad when I get out, but if I were left all to myself, I’m ok with that. lol. I pray you’ll have enticing opportunities for face to face meet-ups that you can’t resist. 🙂

You’re wise, Floyd. Thanks for passing along pieces of your wisdom here on fear. I always need them. This is definitely true: “Seems silly to dread what sits in the palm of His hand right beside us…”

Sometimes even popular books slip through our cracks, yes? 🙂 That happens to me, too, Jean. There are still several classic books that I have never read. I have to come to peace knowing I’ll never finish all the books on my list.
Praying for your friend!

I go through spurts of not reading fiction either, so I hear you on this, Brenda. I read far more non-fiction than I ever read fiction. I first read A Wrinkle in Time with my girls, but this time I read it just for myself. 🙂 I finally read some of Madeleine L’Engle’s non-fiction books only a year or two ago; not sure how I missed them all these years. I’ll be staying in touch with you, Brenda! Thanks again for all you’ve done.

It is so difficult to not be fearful for our children. 🙁 I know that feeling, both when my kids were little, and even now when they are adults. My prayers are with you on this, Crystal!

This isn’t something I think about very often either, to have no fear of fear. It reminds me of FDR: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” 🙂 I don’t know that that statement is 100% true, but it definitely has a huge grain of truth in it. I don’t want to be afraid of being afraid. Thanks for stopping by, Karen.
