I will admit, I loved reading "Good Night Moon" to my kids when they were very young. It was one of many books we had, so it never had the honor of being a bedtime "liturgy," (a word which, here, means a routine done before turning off the lights for the night). 

I could feel the hollow despair in the book's words. But in a way, it is a standing testament to the common grace that God has bestowed on all people, everywhere. The author of the simple picture book, tries to find meaning, at the end of the day, in common articles strewn around the room. 

What I didn't realize was that the author was a pioneer in the alternate-sexual lifestyle, and someone who struggled with the meaningless whimsy of her life and beliefs. She, like we will study this Sunday, had her eyes on the things of this world not the things of God. (Mark 8:33, part of the rebuke of Peter, after Jesus calls him Satan). Margaret Wise Brown, however, went one step further. She appears to have kept her eyes on the things of the world to the exclusion of God, like we talked about last Sunday (Psalm 1, seeking the blessings without the source)

N. B. Google/Wikipedia defines a "bohemian life," as: "Bohemianism is a social and cultural movement that has, at its core, a way of life away from society's conventional norms and expectations. The term originates from the French bohème and spread to the English-speaking world."
