Picture it, youth group at Main Street Baptist Church. Halloween party and 15 years old. Forgot to wear a costume. Over walks a timid girl who shall remain nameless. Dressed in a cow suit. I looked down to see a lifelike utter. Unfortunately, at the time, I couldn't think of the word 'utter' as I was trying to concoct a worthy compliment for the stellar cow suit/outfit. So instead, I dropped the next best thing and said "Great costume! You have a beautiful uterus...". owwwwwww. Fail! At least I was in the right vicinity...
I have another book recommendation for all the readers out there. This is the only fictional book I have ever read, that has changed who I am as a person. This book offers a simple wisdom that is inspiring. This isn't a hidden gem that I found and am now sharing with the world. In fact, it has sold over 65 million copies worldwide and is considered to be one of the best selling books of all time. The reason, I bring it to your attention now is because I think that our (my) generation has missed out on it's lessons. The book is called "The Alchemist". It is a story about Santiago, an Andalucian shepherd boy inspired by a dream to go in search for treasure. During his adventures, in which he travels as far as the pyramids of Egypt, he meets a wide range of advisers in the forms of old men, intellectuals and farmers. All of whom, not only help Santiago in his quest but also in gaining an understanding of his identity and the meaning of his life.
Moving on.... For those of you who are curious, we have the River Elbe in Dresden, Germany as the background today.That is all. READ THE BOOK!!!
