Join Shanna and Janice in conversation and laughter as they discuss the books they’re reading, marriages in the Bible, and continue their discussion of Mansfield Park.Commonplace QuoteMany are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. ~ Proverbs 19:21[W]here all that was solemn, and soothing, and lovely, appeared in the brilliancy of an unclouded night, and the contrast of the deep shade of the woods. Fanny spoke her feelings. "Here's harmony!" said she; "here's repose! Here's what may leave all painting and all music behind, and what poetry only can attempt to describe! Here's what may tranquillise every care, and lift the heart to rapture! When I look out on such a night as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor sorrow in the world; and there certainly would be less of both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to, and people were carried more out of themselves by contemplating such a scene."~ Jane AustenBooks MentionedThe Great Gatsby, F.
