LESSON LEARNED
Flying squirrels LOVE the attic of our cottage at Rumney Bible Conference in New Hampshire.
We’re dealing with that.
The Terminix person noted that limbs from a couple of small beech trees were providing a red carpet for the squirrels. We, being experienced tree farmers, said piece of cake. Jim got his chainsaw, made
a notch, and aimed the smaller tree downhill toward the pond.

“I have yet to find a rationale in evolutionary naturalism—the survival of the fittest—that suggests why we ought to care for the weak and suffering. Nature is stern: the herd advances by abandoning those who would hinder it. Lewis, however, understood that Christianity includes both an appreciation for quality (all good things are gifts of the Father in heaven) and compassion for those who lack it.
“How, then, can we honor both Miss Universe and Miss Nobody, Bill Gates and his garbageman? I believe Lewis would answer such a question by first acknowledging the image of God in every person. “There are no ordinary people,” Lewis said in a sermon. “You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilization—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendours.” That startling truth applies equally to a caretaker and a scholar.” Philip Yancey, What Good is God?”

Dear Ellie,Thanks for joining me as a Friend on Goodreads. It’s great to be connected with you this way. I look forward to sharing keen insights and recommendations about important books with you.
I’m excited about the publication of my new book, Tragedy Transformed: How Job’s Recovery Can Provide Hope For Yours. I use the Book of Job to help people through difficulties in life: loss, tragedy, and sadness. My book contains stories of recovery of people today, victims of natural disaster, mental illness, and sudden grief. I also include our family’s struggle with chronic physical illness.
I’d love for you to read Tragedy Transformed and share your review with other readers here. After reading my book, a Kirkus reviewer writes, “A pragmatic, uplifting examination of the role that tragedy plays in people’s lives.” What would you say?
