....for me it is that there are 78 million children and adults enrolled in school from nursery school through college, at an poll taken couple years ago in the USA....this represents 27 percent of the entire population...projected to be enrolled this fall grades K-12....56 million. Takes an lot of school buses to get them there and back also. They defineately have an big impact on us all.

I'm reading The Guersney Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (fiction) by Mary Anne Shaffer and Annie Barrows.  (Set in both London and Guernsey Island, this novel follows author Juliet as she becomes friends with the inhabitants of the island shortly after the end of World War II. Told in epistolary style (it's a series of letters and notes among various people), Juliet learns of the occupied island and its deprivations, as well as the resounding spirit of the people who live there. As she writes, she becomes more and more intrigued with the stories of the people who survived the hard times, and she decides to create a book based on their experiences. In order to gather more information, Juliet moves temporarily to the island and soon finds herself immersed in the culture and relationships.)

Annie Barrows....wasn't that the name of one of Jack the Ripper's victims?

I've got 3 going on right now:  Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis and The Vitamin Bible by Earl Mindell.  How's that for a combo?  lol

I'm taking a C.S. Lewis class at one of the Catholic parishes in Phoenix.

And thanks to Ron, I got to see Lewis' old stompin grounds and home (the Kilns) in Oxford.

Well, gosh I didn't mention  that I was finishing of my Cromwell book series also.

Ruth, talking of Parishes, I just got an prayer request for an Reverand, and after saying an prayer and sending it on, I had the sweetest smell around me.I keep thinking of it reported so many times by others in churches. It's gone now. I met'him quite by accident, he was posting to another friend I have on-line to come to church that Sunday, and I wrote him back and said, I didn't think I could make it to North Carolina from the west coast this weekend, but if I ever get back there, maybe my friend and I would show up together. Well, he says he's run out of energy and strength and faces 600 prayer requests and needs to add his with their's....to regain his vigor...so I said an prayer for him to be helped in his ministry to others needs. Maybe the sweet smell was an acknowledgement?
