Carmelle's Sweet Spread and Sweet Discussion

If you were at Carmelle Poor's house last Friday night, it was a guaranteed good time!  The book Same Kind of Different As Me was a huge hit.  The insights we discovered about homelessness and how there are other types of legal enslavement were a major shock to the majority of us.  Another gem in this book was the power of a Christian woman doing everything in her power to make a difference for good for no other reason than to do good.  She inspired each of us, especially when we reviewed how readily she forgave her husband and reinvented her marriage after it hit an all-time low.  Her fearless and consistent service was also very moving. 

The delectable ice cream buffet kept us coming back for more.  It was the works!  All types of fruit and candy bar toppings and delicious syrups were among the pickings.  Thank you so much, Carmelle (Happy Birthday today by the way)!

For July, we'll be reading The Storyteller's daughter..., see the next post.
