“I confessed recently to an old friend, "I realized I was looking at you, in your visit, through old glasses. Speaking old words. Telling old stories. I realize that in my life I've made so many physical changes and I need to give my spirit time to catch up." Time for my spirit to look at my friend through the new glasses of current life experiences. Old friends are precious. They become even more treasured when they are wrapped in the currentness of life experiences and not relegated to the past in which they once lived.” NeedsGivingLooksMadeStoriesPastSpiritRealizingMy FriendsGlassesCurrentsI RealizedRedemptionLife ExperienceOld FriendsTreasuredNew Relationship Author:Mary Anne Radmacher
“When a story has gone the grand circuit, and travels back to us uncontradicted, we may reasonably begin to relax in our belief of it.

The course of truth never yet ran smooth.” IfsMayStoriesCoursesBeliefFictionGoneCurrentsRanRelaxSmoothCircuitsCounterfeit Author:Samuel Laman Blanchard
“For each book, there's a back story of where the idea came from. Sometimes it's derived from a current event or topic of discussion. Often it begins with a character. And often, I have NO idea what sparked the idea. It's just there.” BookIdeasSometimesCharacterStoriesEventsCurrentsNo IdeaDiscussionTopicsCurrent Events Author:Sandra Brown
