For the first time since coming here, Brad considered the possibility that he had entered a world where the minds were not sick when compared with his, simply greater - and learning to cope. Like Paradise, they were so powerful they required special systems that lesser minds, like his, did not. #teddekker #thebridecollector #mentalillness #gifted #greatminds #misunderstood #mentallyillgenius

Being a pet/house sitter provides me with free time to spare. Today I filled some of that time coloring in my Harry Potter coloring book naturally. Kenji helped 😁 #harrypotter #adultcoloring #kidatheart #kenji #petsitter #freetime #shibainu

"Whether or not they were willing to admit it, all humans were self-contained and alone. The wisest and hardiest among them managed to acknowledge that fact and surpass it. More experienced adults had found ways to cope, but many if not most felt it still. Younger adults felt it deep in their bones and cried out for significance. Some retreated from that insecurity as a matter of survival."

I'd read a couple of Ted Dekker's books in the past and wasn't a huge fan, didn't hate them, just weren't what I was hoping for. But this one is more to my liking so far. It isn't anything special, just a decent, well-paced, crime drama with some interesting characters. I'm hoping, and betting, the interesting characters are going to have a much larger, and even more interesting role, as the story continues.

Give the doc his due; better living through chemistry. #sleepingbeauties #stephenking #numbreality #maskreality #drugs #thecureall

Another part of getting older: you forgot what you wanted to remember, and remembered what you wanted to forget.

No. My family never had a phone. My dad says he doesn't know anyone he wants to talk to. #icanrelate #rlstine #goosebumps

It's insect heaven down here. Did you know that the mosquito is the state bird of Florida? #goosebumps #rlstine #florida #statebird #thatsfunny #swamplife #floridaliving

I used to love Goosebumps when I was a kid, so now anytime I come across Goosebumps books at thrift shops, yard sales, book boxes, etc, I grab them. And now R. L. Stine is writing more in the Goosebumps universe, Slappyworld, and even has some adult books! My inner child is jumping up and down with joy! 😁

And when you can see all the stars there are to see, and know there's even more beyond them, that's easy to believe. #stars #beyondtheskies #stephenking #theoutsider #infiniteuniverse

"Not really. I've seen Paths of Glory at least a dozen times. It's one of Mr. Kubrick's finest. Much better than The Shinning and Barry Lydon, in my opinion, but of course he was much younger when he made it. Young artist are much more likely to be risktakers, in my opinion."

I believe there's another dozen thoughts in my head lined up behind each one I'm aware of. #stephenking #theoutsider #sodoI #same

Ralph had time to register (again) Gilstrap's horrible plaid coat, and to wonder if the man's wife had picked it out. If so, she must secretly hate him. #stephenking #laughed #theoutsider #lol #humor #stephenkinghumor

There's something in all of us that wants a medal for what we have done.

Here's the thing, say Shug. The thing I believe. God is inside you and inside everybody else. You come into the world with God. But only them that search for it inside find it. And sometimes it just manifest itself even if you not looking, or don't know what you looking for. #thecolorpurple #truth #god #godsinsideyou #foundwhenyouarentevenlooking #bornwithit #profound #inspiring

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God not find God. #turth #thecolorpurple #church #god

Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.

All the Ethiopians in the Bible were colored. It never occurred to me, though when you read the Bible it is perfectly plain if you pay attention only to the words. It is the pictures in the Bible that fool you.
