I confess, I don’t have a valuable, insightful book that I’ve read to share here. But the word of God is never far if we want it near. God’s Big Table: Nurturing Children in a Diverse World by Elizabeth F. Caldwell was a recommendation listed under Summer Reading at church this monring, and it is introduced by saying, “Whoever said that what you read in August has to be mindless?”
Also, Genesis 37:1-4, 12-28 was a familiar, resonant tale of Joseph and his colorful coat. Being special has its pitfalls, literally!
And in Matthew 14:22-33. Who hasn’t turned away for only a monment and felt the waves come up in an instant? Hold on Peter!
