Subject: QOTD For Tuesday, April 5, 2022

The following quotation is from Written In my Own Heart’s Blood by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2014 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 45 The Cure of Souls


He hadn’t actually stopped praying at any time since Jem had disappeared, though most of it was just the frantic, reflexive Dear Lord, let it be all right of everyone facing crisis. Over time, either the crisis or the petitioner wears down, and prayer either ceases or . . . the person praying starts to listen.


He knew that. And he was listening. But he was still taken aback to get an answer.


He had enough experience in the business of prayer to recognize and answer when it showed up, though, however unwelcome. And the pointed reminder, arriving as a random thought in the missile of their mud-spattered, rain-sodden journey - that Jack Randall’s soul was in as much danger as Brian Fraser’s life - was damned unwelcome

[> Nope. Still can’t pull up any sympathy or care for any part of BJR, let alone his soul. His nickname is apt for me because he is nasty black through and through. I know it’s his calling but sometimes Roger’s too nice for me. -- Kathy in PA, Tue, April 05 2022, 4:39:15

[> This was such interesting reading; Roger's conflict over BJR. The atrocities that Randall will commit, and the effects that they will have on Jamie, Claire, Brian, etc. vs. changing the future. The morality is so blurred. -- DianaH, Tue, April 05 2022, 7:07:56

[> [> You’re so right, Diana. It is a lot deeper for Roger - knowing and wanting to stop it so badly, but . . . . . . . . . -- Kathy in PA, Tue, April 05 2022, 18:20:54
