Musical Thursday

Calmed by Nature doesn't play music. Instead, it's ambient sounds, like rain, fire, rivers, etc. Most of these are 8 hours long. Sometimes, I need help sleeping, something to focus on beside the nattering in my head. This one is "Cozy Cabin Ambience - Rain and Fireplace Sounds at Night"

 Am I frustrated by the slowness of my editing progress? Yes, yes, I am. And then I find a missing period.

Good news: I'm half way through this round of edits. Thanks, God!

Monday Quote

“Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place. Show respect to all people, but grovel to none. When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.”
~ Tecumseh
(1768-1813) Shawnee Chief

As frustrating as the slow editing is, it's worth it. Fouls and foals are not interchangeable. Caught it.

Sunday Scripture

Ruth 4:3-4 

And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's: And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I many know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.

Favorite Book Friday

Kept Secrets by Traci Hunter Abramson contemporary Christian suspense romance. This was a stand alone story, though there was a reference to the Guardians. I'd place it in my reading lineup before the Guardian series. I love her stories.

Failsafe (Guardian series book 1) by Traci Hunter Abramson contemporary Christian suspense romance. Heart stopping. 

Safe House (Guardian series book 2) by Traci Hunter Abramson contemporary Christian suspense romance. Another heart stopping page turner. Loved it!

Sanctuary (Guardian series book 3) by Traci Hunter Abramson contemporary Christian suspense romance. What a roller coaster! Breathe. Tough decisions. Great characters. Packed story.

Sunday Scripture

Ruth 4:1-2

Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! Turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
