When did cascading footnotes stop working???
All sorts of new fangled formatting changes in the last few or more months.
Almost nothing can be done by hand any more it seems.
If I stop believing in God’s justice, I become less forgiving.

I just watched the movie Simon Birch with my wife when I realized it was based on the book @Jay313 recommended to me, A Prayer For Owen Meany. Geez, what a horrible job of it. Apparently John Irving sold the rights to making a movie on the condition the name be changed because he realized it could never transfer to the big screen. If you haven’t yet wasted your time on this horrible movie count yourself lucky.

“When you’re scalded, touch hurts; it doesn’t matter how kindly it’s meant. Now.”

I really enjoyed Lila. In Gilead, we saw Lila through Rev. Ames eyes, and a bit through the eyes of his church, indirectly, as I recall (it has been awhile since I read it). Then in Lila, we see her as the world saw her. It helped me see how God sees and loves us,
Also that quote reminds me of the book I just finished, Traumatized Church, by McKnight. Good read, and helped me see how trauma affects both myself and others, and how we can respond to trauma in a more loving way, knowing that even then, “touch hurts.”
