Today’s “+”…

From my Inbox this morning…

I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.
– J.B. Priestly (1894-1984) English Author

And this…

It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.
– Herodotus (485 – 425BC) Greek Historian

Why Pray?

From somebody’s Moleskine…

Will God change the course of human history in answer to your prayers? Because if He won’t – why pray?
-Ben Haden, PRAY!

WWJCRD?

OK…supposin’ you had a gift certificate from a certain online retailer.

And supposin’ that gift certificate had something less than $50 (US) but something more than say, $30 (US) left on it.

And supposin’ you had a wish list of 12 pages with that online retailer.

And supposin’ you had very eclectic tastes and interests.

And supposin’ you really needed to maximize and optimize that gift certificate’s value.

Supposin’ all that…what would you loyal Just Charlie readers (all both of you!) buy? In other words, what book/CD/DVD/etc. would you recommend as having the greatest value right now?

Hurry up, ’cause that gift certificate is burning a virtual hole in my online pocket!
