I keep being a little afraid of what Sally is going to say in the next chapter, expecting that it will be the whammy chapter of “you’re not doing enough for Christ you slacker.” Even though I know she isn’t like that and is all that is encouraging. I suspect it is because I’ve known…
One of the best things about AmblesideOnline is that we’re always reading amazing things. I marked quotes this week to add to my commonplace book from such diverse reading as Madam How and Lady Why; Poor Richard; and Trial and Triumph.
