Seven Quick Takes--Second Friday of Easter (and BOOK CLUB!)

-1-

What a week!!!

So my body has decided it needs to misbehave….so I’ve got a sinus infection and my gallbladder is acting up, but since the last place we want me right now is a hospital (and I do not one to go to one), we’re trying to treat at home. The cipro I’m on for the sinus infection is really knocking it out, thank goodness, but the gallbladder issues are a bit harder. OH WELL.

(Because people always ask—yes, I am on cipro. I’m on a lot of antibiotics prophylactically, which means to keep me from getting sick—I’m basically the human version of a chlorinated pool—so that when I get an infection, we have to use Big Guns to knock it out.)

Around here this week:

Wednesday Notebook #6

And the big Ave Maria Spring sale continues! My book is available for $9! (The sale ends next week, on the 30th, so hop to it!)

Also!

Take Up & Read is going to begin studying our first book, Consider the Lilies, on Monday—and we’ve made it available in a digital format!

We’ve never done a digital copy of our studies before—normally, they are published by Amazon. But with the pandemic, it’s hard to get our studies right now, so we decided to make Consider the Lilies available digitally!

This is the perfect study for right now. Do you feel lost? Confused? Upset? Wondering where God is in all this mess? Then you need this study. It’s a beautiful one!

I hope you’ll join us! Here’s all the information you need.

I’ve started research for my next book!!!! It’s exciting! It’s about saints who were single—single in the world, not single like priests and nuns. So I’m researching and getting to know these saint friends, and how they found their purpose, which I think is important for singles now. As you know, if you’ve followed me for awhile, I have Thoughts! :)
