The Saturday Six

One.

This week I finished Wil Mara's novel Frame 232. It was SUCH a good book. I don't normally read historical suspense novels - and by that, I mean never before had I read one - but it was so good, I couldn't put it down! It's fiction based around the assassination of JFK. Lynne interviewed him on our show a couple of weeks ago, and his interview so intrigued me that I just HAD to read it. It's a big book, but so worth the read.



Two.

I'm always thankful for God's protection on my commutes, but this accident this week gave me a fresh reminder of just HOW thankful I should be. I was driving home when I happened upon this. I don't know if the driver of the semi fell asleep or what happened but he had been traveling north, crossed the median {and judging from the ruts in the median, he was moving pretty quickly} - crossed the southbound lanes, and ended up way out in the field on his side. I never could find anything about it on the news, so I hope he was okay! I found it to be quite miraculous that no other cars were involved.

I read on Twitter this week that it's been 8 years since the accident that happened on the same stretch of road as the one I just mentioned above...the accident that killed five people from Taylor University and ended up in the case of mistaken identity. I so clearly remember that day. Can't believe it's been 8 years ago. I still can't wrap my mind around the details of that story. {And if you've not read that book, you should. Gripping story!}

One of my friends sent this one to me this week...and I SO LOVED IT!! I have a Little House...ahem...problem. I was so addicted to that show growing up and still have such fond, fond love for it. Some of the cast members reunited this week on the Today show, including the crush OF MY LIFE from my teen years - Matthew Labyorteaux. He has largely disappeared from the public eye in the last several years, so I was pleasantly surprised to see him included. Ryan, we may have to own the recently remastered seasons...just sayin'. (There are two video segments, so you have to scroll down for the second one.)

Be still, my beating heart. THIS. Hey, Sonic! Come back to the building you left in Marion. It's never been home without you.

I know my faith isn't to this level, and there's a part of me that is too scared to add the word yet {if I'm being honest} because I am not sure what the yet would cost. A cowardly statement, but a true one. But oh my goodness. The beauty of faith right here.
