I love books. There is so much to learn and enjoy in reading. You can travel the world and never leave your easy chair or spend a dime. It is joyous entertainment as well as intellectual inspiration.
It has been my habit for years to make a weekly trip to the library. Books are free at the library, and free is better than cheap.
One book that I am really enjoying is the daily devotional book that Wanda and I are reading through this year. It is the One Year Devotional for Couples entitled Love Talk by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott. It is so insightful.
They speak where I live. They motivate and encourage. They convict and cleanse. They have blessed our marriage.
Here are a few quotes that stand out:
What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies. -- Aristotle
Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy, you must have somebody to divide it with.
-- Mark Twain
Lord, grant that I might not so much seek....to be loved as to love. --St. Francis of Assisi
ABOUT ME

- Welcome to Plea. This is my feeble attempt to share faith, hope, and love and to encourage better life choices for eternal good and blessing. I am a husband, father, minister, writer with a desire to point people to the higher good. My personal journey has not always been an easy one, but God has been faithful to walk with me every step of the way. My pleas is that you will read and be inspired to choose the higher good in life.
