My friend's almost two week old baby is in the hospital with an infection of some sort. She'll be there for the next several days. Can I ask you all to add her to your prayer list? Her name is Ainsley.
Thanks, the very idea of a tiny baby being sick makes me unsettled.

Taking notes on reading
I find it really hard to read about something I'm learning about, especially something as interesting and nuanced as religion, and not to want to make notes in the margin and dog ear pages. I just started reading Lewis's Mere Christianity (on the advice of most of you) and while most of what I'm noting won't make it into my eventual review, there are a lot of things that I want to mark for when I flip through the book later. The problem is that I end up marking a sentence here or there every few pages, and then can't find what I want to find later. I'm considering swapping from my light pencil to a darker pen, and even then making notes on a piece of paper or text file for reference. Is this crazy? Does anyone else do this? Despite belonging to the book blogging community for 5+ years, I don't know anyone who writes in books.
Rest assured, I will never be the person who highlights more than she leaves alone. When everything is highlighted/ underlined, how do you know which was the truly important stuff?
PS. Who knew that Sharpie had a blog??
