'Owen' is a children's story written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes. This is the story of a little mouse named Owen who loves his blankey very much. His parents do not seem to mind till a nosy neighbor says something about Owen and is blanket. The parents have to figure a way to help Owen. This is a good story to share with children when they need to give something up or a way. The pictures are really cute and uses colors that make you enjoy the story just like the children you could teach from this children's story now.

Love
What is love? In reading Rick Warren's book 'The Purpose Driven Life' there's a chapter that has something to ponder-Life is all about Love. Is it? We are all in various kinds of relationships some good, some bad and some we just know yet. It is also a way of showing and doing good for someone as one of my favorite Bible verses which is 'Love Thy Neighbor as you do yourself'' or something like that. I was never that good at memorizing verses of any kind. So, to show love one still must be forgiving, honest and family oriented.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Venezuela
By Leavie “Soul on Fire” Scott Her name was Nava, a 23‑year‑old shopkeeper’s daughter from Tehran, though she didn’t feel young anymore. Not after the week she had survived. Not after watching the value of Iran’s currency collapse so fast that shop windows changed prices twice a day. Not after seeing her father stand in his empty store and whisper, “I cannot afford to open tomorrow.”

lovely
Ugh, nosy neighbours. They're the worst
If I were still working at the elementary school, I would seek out this little children's book and read it to students. It sounds wonderful, especially in the realm of teaching kids.
Mark, this is super good. one for the books.
