I'm glad you're liking the Merton. It's one of my favorites. I also read the bio on John Quincy Adams. He was a truly fascinating person. I recently finished NT Wright's bio on Paul, which was amazing. Now I'm into Living An Examined Life: Wisdom For The Second Half Of The Journey, and loving it. And I'm kind of always reading The Cloud Of Unknowing. I read it super-slowly, chapter by chapter, then just start over once I'm done.
I'm currently reading Rubel Shelly's book, The Ink is Dry as well as N.T. Wrights book on Romans that I got as a gift from one of my daughters for Christmas. I can't seem to get into any of my fiction books, lately. I think because my Mom has recently moved in with us and she's a tvaholic! I need to complete a book but reading something makes me think of something and I go off researching in other books or the internet. It is difficult to stay focused on one thing! I miss hearing you with Don on 2 Guys and a Bible. It's good for us seniors to hear from the younger generation! But I understand having a young family is very important for you to be there for them!
I’ve always loved fiction, but I’ve let it fall by the wayside so to speak in the last ten years. Every now and then I’ll read it, but I’m trying to make it a habit to have at least one book to fall back on when I find my attention span waning.
I miss being on two guys and a Bible, but I’m happy for William’s return! I think Don mentioned William might be going on a mission trip soon which will open up a space for me to co-host with him for a few sessions.

The Cloud of Unknowing is on my list.. I'm going to slowly work through the CAC list that you sent me! Thanks so much for the suggestions.
The biography of Paul seems intriguing. I might tackle it as my next biography.

I can't figure out how I grip my pencil. I'm inconsistent. 😁 Love those quotes.
