BOOK OF THE WEEK

If you have never taken a philosophy course or need a refresher, I think this is the book for you. It is easy to read, understandable, and can sharpen your thinking.

Philosophy for Everyday Life

By Trevor Curnow

I recall Uncle Tony once told me that the only attribute the Lord distributed fairly was intelligence; not looks, strength, etc.

I asked Uncle Tony why he would say that.

Uncle Tony said, “Because intelligence in the only attribute that everyone thinks they received more than their fair share.”

  1. Philosophy for Everyday Life sounds interesting. I love the photos of your mom and mother-in-law. I’ll be seeing my mother tomorrow for Mother’s Day brunch (a day late) at her assisted living center.🩷

    This week we saw Ricky Stanicky. Great movie!

    • As always, thank you very much for commenting Priscilla and also for the movie tips. I looked at the trailer and I am going to have to see it. Both the moms in the blog have been gone some time; however, I appreciate your comment about them.
