Of all the things I have a surplus of, books top the list. Already have four boxes full of books to give, and will start the next round of organizing my collection of books in order to fill at least four more boxes of books to give. My plan is to look into several libraries near where I live and donate them there. The books that the libraries won’t accept (because they’re underlined, marked, too old for their standards or not the right subject matter) I’ll try to donate to Salvation Army or some other place like that.
The rest I will put in a box and leave them at the university campus where I studied with a sign saying “Free books”... nothing cheers up a university student more than getting something useful for free… :-)

I can honestly say that this goal has been accomplished. During my five-night hospital stay with my son I never doubted for a moment that he would be ok. I turned to God and trusted completely that my son would be fine. I did ask for the shortest stay possible or, in the alternative, to have enough stamina to carry on for a longer stay. God met me in the middle of the road :-)

You know you have established a new habit when suddenly you can’t engage in it and you miss it. That’s what happened with my Bible reading while my son was in the hospital for five nights. I stayed with him around the clock, and didn’t leave the hospital in all that time. That first night I felt a very strong need to read the Bible for two reasons: because it is already an established habit and because of the situation I was in. I needed the extra comfort.
I decided right then and there that I will get a smaller Bible to carry in my car always, so when a situation like this happens, I’ll just take it with me and read…
