From a talk by Gert Bahan (spelling?), a woman who came to Christ in her 50s and later wrote a book about her life, growing up (and living– or trying to live) with money, but no God.

There’s a wonderful quote in my book The Late Liz, and since no one ever quotes it to me, I have to quote it [myself].

The quote she read was all right for what it was, but the line I’ve written was what made me laugh aloud (out on a walk with my dog…).

If I ever get a chance (I hope to in the next few weeks, same as you brave readers) to sit down and look at a print-out I can’t change as I go along, I wonder if I will end up with favorite lines like that.

And then will I wait for others to notice them or use them myself…?
