Currently reading: Advent: The Once And Future Coming Of Jesus Christ by Fleming Rutledge 📚

Today I finished reading my 29th book of the year, which puts me well behind 2019 but well beyond 2018. Not that it matters. Just keep reading!

Happy Thanksgiving

I have taken in the light / that quickened eye and leaf. / May my brain be bright with praise / of what I eat, in the brief blaze / of motion and of thought. / May I be worthy of my meat.
