6 Words

Today I got an e-mail from Amazon suggesting the "top books" of the year so far. "Not Quite What I was Planning: Six word memoirs from writers famous and obscure" caught my eye. I went to the website and and started browsing through some of them. There were some good ones.

Took different road, never got there

Sorry, you're thinking of my sister.

Got fired. Crazy, amazing, wonderful day.

Curiosity: killed cat. Eight lives left.

Evolved since childhood. Still like bananas.


So, I decided I wanted to write my own six word memoirs. :)

Speaking English, dreaming Spanish, learning Chinese

Many questions, never any easy answers.

Eight at home, one in Taiwan.

Wanderlust and service. Can they coincide?

God leads. I try to follow.


And, this will be even more appropriate once Sarah Grace comes home:
4 brothers, 2 sisters. Life's crazy.

How would you sum up your life in 6 words?



I leave you with 6 words a little girl that I just met yesterday said to me today as I was leaving work. Do they make you as sad as they made me? Pray for her.

"Will you take me with you?"
