Finally, justification
I just read this great quote and had to share it.
Elder John A. Widtsoe shared these wise words at General Conference, April 1939. They are as true today as they were when he spoke them: “The reading habit is most valuable in life. I mean by that the practice of using a little time, say half an hour a day, in the systematic reading of worthwhile literature. The mind is opened to precious fields of thought; the achievements of the ages become ours; even the future takes form. As the mind and spirit are fed by well chosen reading, comfort, peace and understanding come to the soul. Those who have not tried it, have missed a keen and easily accessible joy.”
I share this with you in hopes of relieving any guilt you might feel at reading a book when there are so many other obvious things that need to be done: dishes, laundry, home work, diapers, hungry children, bleeding children, etc. (You Twilight readers know what I mean) Guilt no more! We are justified in reading at least 30 minutes a day. Vunderbar! Read on!
