Billy Brown decided it was time to buy a new house, so he decided to sell his old house and put the matter in a real estate agent's hands.
The agent wrote up a sales blurb for the house that made wonderful reading.
After Bill read it, he turned to the agent and asked, "Does my house have everything your ad says it does?"
The agent said, "It certainly does. Why do you ask?"
Bill replied, "Cancel the sale. It's exactly what I'm looking for."
"The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves. We have had our summer evenings; now for October eves!"

When I was about 20 yrs. old I was asked by a Minister in our church who my favorite fictional author was. I told him I was reading the complete works of Sherlock Holmes by Doyle.
He asked if I skipped chapters and pages or read part of one story then skipped to another. When I told him I read a story from start to finish he asked me why I would read the greatest book ever written any differently.
That was 25 yrs ago. I have since read the Bible from cover to cover 4 times. It was the best advice I ever received. Thanks to Pastor Stewart I've learned more than I could possibly have imagined.
