Foolishness

I went to the library today without my kids and truly experienced the awe I once had going into a library as a child. It was awe. I think I wanted to bring home hundreds of books but settled instead for 12.

Twelve! What was I thinking? Add this to the other 12 I'd checked out previously. In just the twelve I chose today it is over 3,100 pages..... and one of the books is by Dallas Willard so his count as double.

Yet I couldn't put them back and wait for next time; I wanted the joy of having them in my arms immediately.

But what good is having 24 books in my house if I don't have the time to read them?

I guess I'll be staying up late this coming week.
