#11 Same Kind of Different As Me

Same Kind of Different As Me by Ron Hall, Denver Moore, and Lynn Vincent.  
I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down.  Another book for my book club - someone has good taste.  I was really captivated by the characters (though they are actually real-life people they came off as characters because of their unique circumstances) and enjoyed the way the authors arranged the chapters, alternating between voices (same as in The Help).  Although my one negative about that technique was that some of the chapters did not alternate, which threw me off for the first few paragraphs of that chapter.  This book centered on faith, friendship, and death, and it got me thinking about my marriage and how precious my time is with Nathan.  It is pretty much inevitable that one of us will pass away before the other. And although "life" (dishes, dirty diapers, having to be somewhere on time, etc.) sometimes gets in the way, I really want to try to cherish every moment that we have together.

I am a better person for having read this true story. Now to put into action the wonderful things I have been shown by Ron Hall and Denver Moore. Lynn Vincent brought me closer to God. Thank you.
