Within Arms Reach

Right now, I'm comfortably ensconced on a love seat in my living room, wrapped in a favorite blanket, with a pillow nearby (should the possibility of napping arise). I'm settled in for an afternoon of reading, study, writing, and relaxing. I have, within arm's reach,

• a tall glass of water
• the rosary I purchased in Rome
• my cell phone
• the remote controls for both my television and dvd player
• my laptop
• 2 commentaries on John
• 2 commentaries on Luke
• "Wrestling with Angels" by Carolyn Arends
• five pens
• my journal
• my laptop
• my bible
• "Everybody Wants to God to Heaven But Nobody Wants to Die" by David Crowder and Mike Hogan
• "The Gift of Pain" by Philip Yancey and Dr. Paul Brand
• "Studies on the Go: John" by Laurie Polich

All the ingredients for a happy afternoon!
