I was attempting to take a pic for a #BookMail post, but the cat photobombed the shot. I didn’t retake it. Love that little monster. Thanks to #PaperbackSwap dot com for the @www.joditaylorbooks.com novel, “Saving Time”! 📚⏳😻

Many celebrate the Christmas season for 12 days, so there’s still time to read this gem from #JulieKlassen. “A Sea View Christmas” is a delightful morsel & a fine addition to the On Devonshire Shores series. The story runs just past 12th Night as well. #BookSky #ChristmasNovella #BethanyHouseFiction

As it’s the period between Christmas and New Year’s, I’m not sure WHAT day it really is. But happy #Caturday in any case. It’s Hobbes’ favorite time of year, when cardboard boxes are particularly prolific… 😆

For many years my father Donovan Woodside has been volunteering with Bugles Across America. This fine organization sends volunteers to play “Taps” at veteran funerals. BAA was featured in The New York Times this week. So exciting! Gift link: url4520.buglesacrossamerica.org/ls/click?upn...

Happy #Caturday from Hobbes, whose recent obsession is a discarded box, destined for recycling. I’ve decided to hold on to the box for a while… 😏 #CatSky #OrangeTabby #ififitsisits

Fun night at the movies. The 1978 version remains my favorite, but this is a worthy successor. And I wanna find a red cape for my fluffy white dog! #Superman

Happy #Caturday! Recently each of my felines took a turn in a laundry basket, all on their own. Later I roped doggo in on the fun myself. Who wore it best?? I vote for Callie, who is holding a chic pose! 😻 #CatSky #DogSky #RescueCats #MikiDog

Bailey needed his own headshot on here. The third of my rescue kitties, he was an unexpected addition and is everyone’s favorite. We can’t decide if he’s the most clueless cat ever, or a secret genius. Loudest purrs. Master escape artist at curfew time. #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky #BuffTabby #RescueCat

My cat’s nonplussed reaction to the storm raging outside earlier. And she’s normally the skittish one of the litter. Meet Callie. #CatSky

In my mailbox: Book 5 of the “Timeless” series, “Every Hour Until Then” by Gabrielle Meyer. Last fall I read and listened to the first 4 books over the course of 10 days, they were so fabulous. Early reviews seem to indicate that Book 5 delivers. Can’t wait! #BookSky #TimeTravel #ChristianFiction

I had a lovely Mother’s Day, & my guys spoiled me rotten, which included handing over the remote. 🤣 One choice was the Academy Award-winning movie “Flow”. Its accolades are well deserved, and I highly recommend it. Just take it in. My cat Bailey was transfixed as well, more than once! #FlowMovie

@barnesandnoble.com - And my bookmark must coordinate with what I’m reading. Color/theme/etc. as much as possible. So if I lose it and have to resort to a scrap of paper, it’s a minor tragedy. #BookNerdProblems

An arrogant leader uses fear to scare people and calls that power. A humble leader cares for people and the power speaks for itself.

The season of Lent begins today, Ash Wednesday. For my daily devotions I’ll be reading “The Road to Joy” from @ChristianityToday.com. Print subscribers received a lovely paperback in the mail, but it’s also available on the CT website. www.christianitytoday.com/magazine/202... #AshWednesday #Lent

A Word to a Discouraged Christian - Christianity Today
From Russell Moore: The gospel is real. The stories are true. Christ is risen, and Jesus saves. Why would we walk away from that?

Spotted: “Breaking Free” by @bethmoorelpm.bsky.social in episode 1.2 of Netflix’s “The Night Agent,” on a lobby book rack. Time code - 41:01 remaining in episode. (And no, Peter did not purchase it. 😢) #BookSky #NightAgent #BreakingFree

Just to inject some positivity: Happy Valentine’s Day from my pup Scooter. I admire dogs’ fidelity and love for us. He’s always happy to see me, especially when I’m holding the car keys or a doggy treat. 😏 #MiKiDog #DogSky #HappyValentinesDay Romans 15:13

Current read when my nose isn’t in another book for school: “The Queens of Crime” by Marie Benedict. I love that Dorothy Sayers, friend of C. S. Lewis, is the “voice” of the novel. Also enjoying the audio version while running errands. #BookSky #QueensOfCrime #MarieBenedict #DorothySayers #CSLewis

Snow in Greensboro, NC. We’ll probably get 2”. Cue the panic, cancellations, & in some cases, joy! Jonathan got off work early from HondaJet & has bravely agreed to run to the grocery store. Before that, he’s taking Colson to Ozzie's Ice Cream before our son heads back to Wheaton College tomorrow.
