The Pelican Brief

The Pelican Brief by John Grisham. 'He seemed incapable of creating such chaos, but much of what he saw below could be blamed on him. And that was fine. He was ninety-one, paralyzed,strapped in a wheelchair and hooked on oxygen'. These are the first lines of this action packed thriller. The 'He' in question is a legendary high court judge and the first of the assassins victims. As the story unfolds the killer's appetite for murder continues , all judges or law lecturers. The U.S. President is drawn into the plots and his contact with unscrupulous business men is made apparent. However, when an innocent law student who has written her own account of the business dealings involved is made known to the killer ,she is literally running from state to state for her life. This was my first John Grisham novel and it won't be my last. A fantastic novel , very well written , the author has not resorted to sex and swearing , which is an added bonus for me. Highl

As the years passed the church festival and 'Mothering Sunday' combined to form what day we experience now.  In addition to remembering our earthly mothers let's not forget our heavenly Mother, Our Lady. For she is a devoted Mother and we are her children. Our Lady is always with us, always ready to help and guide us through our earthly life. So as well as buying gifts and cards to show our appreciation to Mum, lets not forget that we are also children of Mary. Lord, I ask but one favour of you this day, That of dwelling in your Church Not as a scholar, Nor as a philosopher, Not as an athle

Always Marry An April Girl Praise the spells and bless the charms, I found April in my arms. April golden, April cloudy, Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy; April soft in flowered languor, April cold with sudden anger, Ever changing, ever true -- I love April, I love you. by Ogden Nash.
