Our Book Reading and Video Screening for the last Quarter of 2023 is Pilgrim's Progress

It's been suggested that we do something practical here in line with our theme #Literacy.

We've suggested we create a reading competition- online- with a book we can all assess online or a soft copy be made available - chapters or the whole book- and report- or post the video.

These are great ideas. I've been to a number of physical book readings. One had the author of the book read excerpts to us. One had all of us being given copies of the book and we encircled ourselves and read. Another had us sit while one person read from the book and we shared our opinions at the end. Trust me, these were great times in my life. 

I've multiple copies of some books I wanted to replicate in the TLF Centre. I did it once. I got copies of Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyon  (adult and children's comic versions). It was interesting and I wish to do more where we can once again gather in peace.

So for the rest of the year 2023, we would like us to read Pilgrim's Progress and have a viewing of the movie once again! 

We can share a video of us reading it, or a voice recording, or we can post chats on what we read and what we think of what we read.

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...
