So, as I was reading Sherlock Holmes, I stumbled across this quote, and I really enjoy it. So, I am sending it into your weekend with you. Enjoy!
"'There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion,' said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. 'It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers. '"
~Sherlock Holmes "The Naval Treaty" by Sir Aurthur Conan Doyle. (I added in the bold.)
Have a great weekend, everybody! (I know I will. I definitely bought sparklers.) :)
P.S. I will probably not get to the book list until Tuesday. I am at the end of a fairly large proofreading project and intend to spend a lot of time (and possibly coffee) on it this weekend. So quit judging me, Dr. Gonzo. ;)
