My husband and I saw Hacksaw Ridge and Dunkirk and loved them both. And who doesn't love Chip and Joanna! The book that has most impacted me in the last few years, besides the Bible, is "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy" by Eric Metaxas. Thanks for sharing some of your favorites, Cathy.

It would be hard to pin down favorite music, but lately I have been listening every night to a CD from a choir called Soundforth called Beyond All Praising. I also like one of instrumental spiritual songs by the Galkin Evangelistic team. When I am particularly frazzled, it's quite soothing.<br /><br />My husband has been wanting to see Hacksaw Ridge. I got a DVD of Middlemarch recently to watch while recovering from surgery but haven't cracked it open yet. We don't get HGTV, but I've caught a few episodes of Fixer Upper on Netflix or Hulu or somewhere and really enjoy it. I read the Gaines's book earlier this year and loved it. It's hard to pick out a favorite verse, too, as there are a multitude of good ones, but a couple of mine are Isaiah 41:10: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" and Psalm 16:11: "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."<br /><br />Books - another hard one to pin down, but my favorite novels are Jane Eyre, A Tale of Two Cities, and Les Miserables. I've only read Mere Christianity and Knowing God in the lats few years and need to reread them.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642167378367548721.post-73238056412260485182017-08-11T12:15:58.414-07:002017-08-11T12:15:58.414-07:00So many favorites that I hold or will now add to m...So many favorites that I hold or will now add to my list of want to see, hear, read! Peonies are so dear to my heart. They were my Mama's favorite flower and have become mine. God created so much inside that round ball before the burst into fullness. It is good to visit you today.
