The creator of Pat the Bunny, Dorothy Kunhardt, was an innovative artist and writer with a quirky personality. Though she was sometimes discouraged, she never let a “no” keep her from creating something new. DOROTHY’S IDEAS, lyrical picture book biography. #pbpitch #nf #l

@HeatherTDay At my Bible college, we were allowed to take “message prep for women” but not homiletics. My (amazing, female) professor welcomed us to the first class and said “this is a homiletics course, I am just not allowed to call it that” and handed us our homiletics syllabus.

Ah yes, for me, life is both too much and not enough. I was bred in the mists of time to hunt wolves, but there are no more wolves to hunt. My days are merely eat, sleep, and walkies, on and on, here in my gilded cage. Can it be called ennui when I am so very large?
