A Good Read

I recently read a book that's too good to keep to myself. It's "The Music Teacher" by Barbara Hall. It's a thought-provoking, motive-probing novel that explores reasons to teach, to develop talent and to create art.

The book inspired me to pay close attention and to carefully hone to the writing hopes and dreams that God has placed inside me.

The book includes a lot of truths that touched me. One of them is voiced by the main character when she speaks about Mary the mother of Jesus: "Mary said yes to her assignment. Most of us say, 'Maybe.' Which is worse than no."

Well, I'm off to say "Yes" to my assignment.
