(Linda, Weko Beach, Michigan)
This week Linda and I head to a Lake Michigan beach area to celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary.We love sitting on the beach, and reading, and talking, and just enjoy a getaway and being with each other.
I'm taking two books with me.
First, I am re-reading (for the third time) C. S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces. I love this book! I have it in paperback. This is a book I want to hold while reading it.
The second book is my "heavy" read for the week: The Morality Wars: The Ongoing Debate Over the Origin of Human Goodness. This is a collection of essays on metaethics. Metaethics is an area I continue to read in. The Table of Contents is below.
But soon... coffee, a book, a beach, a great lake, meals together, with my gift-of-a-wife Linda...
