It all began for me about four months ago. I was busy with my work when the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage came and interrupted me.

store they all began looking the same to me. 

She drug me to a thrift store and I drug her "treasures" to the car. 

I lost all track of time but somewhere during the day we had what he
called "our light lunch." But I remained in the dark about the whole 
thing. 

By the fourth day, some of the fogginess begun to dissipate. I needed a
plan and I needed one quick. 

We were in one thrift store when the idea struck me. Back in a corner,
almost hidden from sight, were several bookcases crammed with books. I 
had one of those "Aha" moments. 

I found the shopping cart, went back and filled it with books. All kinds
of books. Most of the books were five cents to a quarter. I pushed the 
cart around an aisle and there to my delight was my wife. She took one 
look at me, tapped her wristwatch and said, "Come on, it's time to go." 


For the next two days, I enjoyed some quiet time with my laptop
computer, Bible and Kindle. Amazingly enough, my drug problem was 
cured. 

I thought of one of my favorite Bible verses. "Even a fool, when he
holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is 
esteemed a man of understanding," (Proverbs 17:28 KJV). 

Holding my peace is my specialty.
