The Town of Odyssey

Just read Night by Elie Weisel.

I manage a retail pharmacy outlet for a big chain in the city limits of Minneapolis. Been an interesting ride the last few years. As a part of the job I'm licensed as a pharmacy technician in Minnesota and hold the national PTCB certification with lots of experience running pharmacy operations in ad...

Thanks to the advanced search function I found a thread from 15 years ago (oof) where a similar question was posed. Here were my "seasons" at the time: Finding the Niche 1987-October 1988 FP1-45 During this time AIO was getting on it's feet. The episodes were fine, but we also had the Harl...

The mention of C.S. Lewis reminded me that I'm reading "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." It really is such a good book! It's a classic for a reason. Just finished Till We Have Faces by the incomparable C.S. Lewis. First fiction book I've read in quite a while. It reminded me of how...

Within the past two weeks I've had two separate friends - one who'd been double-vaxed and one who had his first shot - both come down with a semi-severe COVID infection. My one friend was almost to the point of needing to go to the hospital. To bring it back to the topic on hand, that of course beg...

That just got added to my list.

Starting the book Till We Have Faces by CS Lewis.

Currently reading a fascinating memoir titled Out of the Shadows by J Thomas Lapacka.

As far as the specific details about these roles: Wooton's best episodes and moments tend to be the ones where he is giving out, ministering to someone. If I had to pick a Wooton episode as the best, I'd pick The Other Side of the Glass because it does a good job making Wooton silly, yet compassion...

I had the opportunity to meet him two or three times, and he always struck me as a genuinely happy and kind person who had fun with the fans. This is devastating news, he will be missed.

Finished Pilgrim, read The Hand on My Scalpel, now on Through Gates of Splendor

Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan

I might read these too.

Now reading A Road More or Less Traveled

Just started Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

Finished Patton, now reading The Cat Who Came for Christmas, another one of my hospital books. I started re-reading "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman. Just reading the introduction to the 30th anniversary edition made me happy. That's been on my list for some time, is it as good as t...

Finished the Grisham book tonight, now reading Killing Patton.

As someone who has followed Josh Harris extensively (and who didn't really buy into it in the first place), I'm curious about this. You say that it affected your views of marriage, even after getting married, but I'm curious if his influence played any kind of a role in the change in your overall b...

Finished reading Manhunt a while ago, great book. I am currently reading Witness to an Era, by D. Mark Katz. I just gotta say that one of the reasons I frequent this thread is to get book ideas, and I am liking your taste. Gotten ideas from Laurie and Catspaw too. Thanks, I as well have gotten idea...

Flood Tide by Clive Cussler

So I'm in the crowd whose beliefs have changed from growing up til now, though I landed in a wildly different place than you have. That said, The firm hand of Purity Culture had a tight grip on me. I judged women who didn't dress "modestly" because THEY were causing me to stumble. Sex was ...
