White Days

White Days ... all color removed, everything reduced to a hush.

Brighter, warmer today. +27 (-3c) degrees at 1 p.m.

Finished my book last night. An interesting revelation at the end that cleared up one character's motivation. Sarah Zettel writes in various genres including mystery, fantasy and sci-fi.

Got up late... not good for me because it means a shorter 'day' during these short days. I could venture out but might wait until tomorrow.

Maybe another coffee will help. Or eating something!

Off my balcony today
Mountains are invisible.

Crows ... slash of black through white winter's sky.

Me:

Eagle cruising the river ... lunch under ice.

Heated dog dish.....Sparrow hot tub.

Speaking of Lutherans...

The Washington Examiner has an article

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/why-patriotism-and-nationalism-don-t-mix-...

where they quote on Psalm 146: "Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save."

I don't agree with the Christian obsession with Salvation (who, why, how, etc.) but the article makes the valid point that nations come and go.

As for Lutherans... The State Church of Germany was taken over by the Nazis in the 30s. It didn't end well.

I finished book #1 of my 52/52. That makes 3 finished. I should start #4 tonight... if I'm smart.

I was stuck on Autumn Letters. It had triggered me and I was blocked. Reading 2 other books unblocked me. I'll need to do 'reviews' now. AL was set in Nebraska 1963-68. Assassin's Masque in England 1716. Storm Petral in Scotland 1980s. I'll have to go another direction in my next choice. Nothing heavy I hope. I thnk I'm supposed to be on book 7 ... so some catching up to do.
