Hello world!
I had a good weekend. It was good. Last week was kind of a
mixed situation, both good and unpleasant. I am grateful for such a wonderful
weekend to get away from the city and go back to Winneba to hide a little (just
for a few hours).
I am done reading The
Redemption of Sarah Cain. It is a religious novel about a group of
Christians I am hearing for the first time; The Amish. I don’t know of anyone
in Ghana would belongs to a group like that. I have done online research of
them because of this. They have interesting customs and traditions.
Anyway, since I have finished reading the book, I wanted to
go on ahead and write the review, but I want to do something different. I want
to write eleven quotes/ sentences I liked from the book. Here are five quotes I
liked from the book (in no particular order)
Choose only the
perfect ones, and your collection will become more important. Remember, there
is only one sun and moon in the sky. Think how trivial a harvest moon would be
if there were three.
Things done by halves
are never done right.
In shedding
nonessentials, one sheds vanity
Nary a promise for the
morrow. Live ev’ryday as if it’s your last
Sarah had come to her
relationship with Bryan a mere silhouette of a woman, hungry for acceptance,
but too apprehensive to embrace it wholeheartedly.
There’s a healing that
often comes from creating an heirloom.
The outside of one’s
life is their shell. It can guide one to find the ultimate answer….within. A person is always free to change his shell
at any time.
God is sovereign, in
all, over all, and above all. I do put my faith and hope in him.
Human beings often
despite aloneness. We avoid isolation at all costs. Yet we must reconcile with
solitude, learn to embrace it, so that we can hear God’s voice.
Treasures from the sea
teaches us heavenly lessons.
A single powerful bolt
of lightning split the sky, silver and sizzlin’.
Have you read the book? What do you think of the Amish culture? Maybe, you can tell me more about them.
