Perspective

Uncategorized 1 Minute

“To put it in perspective, consider the Spanish flu, which lasted from February 1918 to April 1919 at a time when medicine and medical treatment were nothing like they are today. Nearly 750,000 Americans and 50 million people worldwide died of the flu, with about one third of the world’s population stricken during that pandemic. Yet America didn’t stop back then . . . They understood enough at the time to know you can’t shut everything down, because if they had, it would be all over for us.”

Graham Allen; Dear America p. 53, Center Street. 2021

October 14, 2021 This all still applies, but I changed my title from "I Wish "I" Had Said That" to "Lonnie Reads." I may, soon, need to shrink my library. So I am reviewing books and saving quotes. Quotes --- No Commentary. Though I'd enjoy YOUR thoughts if you happen to stop by. Was Me. Is Me. Will Forever Be Me. I love to learn, but can't keep it to myself. I am a writer, though, so I know how many edits, rewrites---and hours it takes to grab a reader's attention, and then to keep it. I will always give credit where credit is due and THEN I hope you will double my joy by visiting a library or book source and reading (or listening) to the book yourself. A practice I've taken up recently is this: After reading a book, with pencil, I go back to read and pray through what I've underlined. It's been an incredible experience. If a quote I share strikes a chord of your heart, I'd love it if you would test-drive my beloved habit. EverReading--EverGrowing, Lonnie
