PICKING OUT A PUPPY
heidi
Honestly, I was hoping for "not playful enough." But as docile as Maggie was when we put her to the test, she has been anything but boring since coming home with us. I have one lonely Gianni Bini shoe to prove just how "playful" she is.

HOW'S IT GOING?

Welcome to Amarillo Uptown's September book club! Does everyone have their book? I've talked to many people this week who are excited about reading the book. I have to admit, I've read ahead. For the life of me, I can not put the book down.

WELCOME

How many of you have pets? My husband and I have a 6 month old black lab named Maggie. Last night I got so mad at her I wanted to run away from home. But this morning she was so sweet and cute that I laughed when she drank out of the toilet. Right now, I feel a little grossed out about that. Pets have the capacity to run you through the emotional gamut. So do families.

There are two things in this section that really stand out to me. The first is Denver's confrontation with Ron about God's will (pages 169-170). It takes a true friend to confront a friend in such distress.

CATCH AND RELEASE

Honestly, the target text for this post is so poignant. Denver makes it to Ft. Worth, Ron and Deborah dive in at the Union Gospel Mission, and some really wonderful conversations finally take place between Denver and Ron. Did you just love reading Denver’s pearls of wisdom? Poor unsuspecting Ron had no idea what kind of a friend he was gaining in Denver.

POVERTY AND PRIVILEGE

Only a few pages into the novel, I was struck by the universal quality of the human experience. Sure, the book portrays the chasm that exists between poverty and privilege; but it also sheds a little light on the things that are common to all people.
