Now That's Love...
My name is Autumn Hare and I am a bibliophile. I must admit I have no desire to recover from this condition.
My name is Autumn Hare and I am a hopeless sap. I must admit I have no desire to recover from this condition.
With these things said, it should be no wonder that I thought the following words, taken from my monthly Borders e-mail, were highly amusing…
"As book lovers, we often discuss the objects of our affection in terms usually employed in (significantly) other ways. We talk of how we love books. We go out for coffee and can't wait to tell a friend about the great new book we started. We say we're crazy about books.
Language aside, however, there are some refreshing differences between our relationships with books and our engagements of the human variety. While it's always nice to curl up with one in bed, for instance, a book will never hog the covers. Though they motivate us in so many ways, books will never hassle us to take out the trash. And, despite the fact that I've turned many a page while enjoying a snack, I'm yet to have a book snag the last pistachio.
Now that's love." --Borders Bookstore February promotional e-mail
So, I know this isn’t my deepest blog entry, but expect me back in full force tomorrow. I continue to ponder Islam and its effects in the world. In fact, I’m thinking about reading the Qur’an. One thought I had today on my walk to work is that I don’t want to die with Islam being the number one religion in the world. It’s number two and growing fast. As much as I love reading, I love people more and I will set my aside my desires to bring people the saving knowledge of Christ.
Now that’s love.
