The other day, I got a text message that read: “Breaking into Bibliopolis after hours!” It was accompanied by this picture. I must say it was wise to include this picture, since it did blunt the whole “breaking into” part. Some of the Bibliopolis patrons will be aghast, “Michael has his shoes on!” but I’m sure his dad carried him onto that green chair. 🙂
At least Stephen’s reading The Jesus Storybook Bible!
Happy Monday!
As we learned from Ezra the other day, finding a comfortable reading space is important when trying to get into a good book. And as we’ve also seen, books make babysitting better! Here’s one of our favorite Gracepoint Berkeley triplets happily reading her book. It really is a fine line between a truck and a chair, you know? I can relate a bit with her; the car has always been one of my favorite reading spaces!
Perhaps we need hands-free driving laws for playtime!
This reading snapshot of one of our beloved college students at Gracepoint Berkeley church evokes strong nostalgia for all of us erstwhile students. Whether your school was on a quarter or semester calendar, it seemed like there were always late nights studying for exams or writing papers. So you sleep when you can, and sometimes fall asleep when you don’t mean to! In her defense, she’s reading The Grand Inquisitor from The Brothers Karamazov, by my man Fyodor Dostoyevsky. And Russian literature is no joke; it requires some serious brain power. So she’s probably just *resting her eyes* and brain for a few minutes before diving back into contemplating human nature!
It happens to the best of us. However, The Brothers K is a marathon, not a sprint…so you go, girl!
