"We all need a little magic in our lives, Pearl. We need something to lift us out of our everyday lives and give us something to hope in." --James, from Midnight Pearls (by Debbie Viguie)

I love finding little bits of truth hidden in unlikely places. My favorite is reading a non-Christian book and stumbling across sentences like this--sentences that reflect the Great Truth, and likely the author didn't even know what she was writing. My mom's argument is that all good stories ultimately reflect the Great Story: the story of Fall and broken relationship that ultimately ends with the Prince and happily ever after.
