Potter's hands


I just finished the 1st Harry Potter book. I have long been a fan of the films but was too lazy to read the books. Throw in 10 weeks of unemployment, well there you go. The first book took me just a day & I loved every bit. Especially Dumbledore, wicked smart, that one.

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that."

"Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing that Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign...to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very skin. Quirrell, full of hatred, greed, and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good."

" to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."

Dumbledore

We have had without question, one of the hardest weeks of our lives. It was part of why I jumped into Harry's tortured world, to soothe myself. If you are a pray-er, we'll take some please. Double order, heavy on the grace.

  1. Of course we'll pray. I'm sorry this week has been so hard; we had one of those ourselves last week. If you're still in town and have some free time it'd be fun to get together...

    It'll get better...hopefully soon, Lovely!
