I have this book in storage, so when I wanted to check it out at the library for my son to read, I found that it was categorized as non-fiction. What? Why? Do they think this conversation between demons really happened? Bizarre. I looked, and it’s categorized this way at both the Omaha Library and the Council Bluffs Library. I don’t get it.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite books, so I do encourage people to read it. I guess you may have to look in the non-fiction section for it, though.
Went to the library sale today in Omaha and got to meet up with Kookiejar again. It was fun, but a bit tempered because of the Omaha Mall killings. The branch where the sale is held is just a few blocks from the mall. I don’t usually go there because it’s about 35 minutes from my house, and there’s a closer one in Council Bluffs; but I probably would have been there today if it hadn’t been for the shootings. Earlier in the week I had planned to go to that particular mall today to look for an outfit for my husband’s company Christmas party. If the shooter had gone there today instead of Wednesday. . . well, I don’t want to think about that.
I don’t know if any of you read my post last September about the Fall library sale, but Kookiejar and I went to Panera to have lunch when we were done book shopping. That day we were going to take a shortcut through Von Maur (the store where the shootings occurred) to get to Panera (we didn’t, though, because they were closed due to electrical problems). That could have happened again today. It could have been one of us. It could have been someone we know. It’s scary to think about.
While I don’t usually get too frightened saying, “What if. . . “, incidents like these really make one reflect and realize how precious life is, and how we should make the best use of it with the time we’re given.
I celebrated by giving 64 books to my small local library that they didn’t have in their system. I’ll probably give at least 100 more to the bigger library that I frequent for their library sale. I’ll also probably give over 100 to my homeschool co-op group.
Why? So I don’t break the movers’ backs when we move. Don’t worry–I have thousands left for my new home!

But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. (Jude 1:20-21, ESV)
