Sentences of the week:

1. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool. On one side of the river the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gabilan mountains, but on the valley sid the water is lined with trees---willows fresh and green with every spring, carrying in their lower leaf junctures the debris of the winter's flooding; and sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent libs and branches that arch over the pool.
~Of Mice and Men

2.  I believed, but how could I be sure?
~Heaven is for Real

3. At about ten o'clock in the morning the sun threw a bright dust-laden bar through one of the side windows, and in and out of the beam flies shot like rushing stars.
~Of Mice and Men

I picked this passage as my number one this week because I love imagery, and this imagery is exceptionally beautiful. These are the 2nd and 3rd sentences of the book, and Steinbeck successfully captured me already.

The second sentence doesn't read like anything special, but it is coming from the mind of a pastor, and to me it is important to know that even the leaders of the church or the teachers have questions of faith at times. It is only natural for a person to want proof of something they are told.
