MUSINGS OF A MINISTER: THE GIVING OF GIFTS

I REVIEW BOOKS

Read my book reviews at your own risk. I have been told that because I am respected by those who read my reviews that I am dangerous to their spiritual well being. Please read my reviews knowing that I am not recommending anything more than what is in my review. If you decide to become a fan of the author, his or her lifestyle, worldview and other things they may write, then please know that is your responsibility and not mine. I love to read and read widely. I have an opinion about what I read and share it on these pages. I do not expect you to appreciate what I write or hold me responsible for anything beyond my words. Let's read and think together with joy. Clif

There was a time when I thought Arizona was just a hot desert filled with cacti, snakes and other varmints. Not anymore. Now Arizona “spells” home, beautiful skies, wonderful weather nine months of the year, warmth for old, tired bones, and as Greta Van Susteren would say, “Much, much more.” Opulent Oklahoma was my first home and I loved it. I went to college in Texas and I liked that state too. “Cool” California was my next home and I loved it a lot—and still do. But now, it’s ARIZONA all the way! Come visit our wonderful state every chance you get—but don’t settle down here or stay too long. Phoenix is now the fifth largest city in the U.S. and we are getting crowded. We need to preserve our beautiful desert!!
