His other book "Introverts in the Church" might have rescued me from all the guilt of NOT being an extrovert and hating "hand shaking time" at every service I attended (ha!). Anyway ... thanks for sharing. I still have kids at home but need to remember it won't always be this LOUD here. :) The Frauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390182322424408648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-45180905219901404662016-01-29T19:37:12.324-05:002016-01-29T19:37:12.324-05:00Oh, sounds like a great book and I may have to run...Oh, sounds like a great book and I may have to run over to Amazon and order it.

It's amazing how the quiet that we yearn for when our children are small, becomes the quiet that reminds us that they're now grown. And so it goes.
