They got to take their cattle? So why were the manna and quails so important?

Listening along with the Catholic Bible in a Year podcast with Fr. Mike Schmitz.

I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that uses “catholic” in its nonreligious sense!

Current theory: Eliot is Far’s sister because Empra disappeared into the future. No idea how that connects with the “subject seven” business. Multiple timelines, so she has to figure out if this is the right one?

I haven’t made it past the introduction yet, and it’s going slowly. I might try again in the summer.

Oh my goodness, this is a good book! I love this method of filling in the gaps without the weight of prequels. It remains to be seen whether I like the non-sequel parts towards the end.

“ A curated wardrobe of 11 flattering work outfits preserves cognitive capacity for difficult decisions.” That’s what I always say about a work uniform!

She’s mentioned memento mori, quoted a psalm, and described freedom from versus freedom to. Someone’s mainline theology is showing!

“You have every right to your feelings, needs, and expectations. But they are yours and you have to take responsibility for them.” I try to impress this reality on everyone I know.

On the home stretch!

Just passed the 300 mark!
