I'm still reading "Dragonfly in Amber" by Diana Gabaldon but today as I started reading it was just in such a sad point of the book that I had to put it down. Jamie and his clan are in their first campaign for The Bonnie Prince and the casualties of war are stacking up. I just didn't think I could handle so much sadness on such a beautiful day.
I bought another Kate Morton book a couple of weeks ago and hope to get started on it before long. I love my Nook but still like the feel of a "real" book in my hands. There's just something about paper that feels comfortable.
I homeschool my son Logan and I will be very busy before long reading school books, curriculum logs, and the such. I always get excited about school when it first begins, my enthusiasm starts waivering around the end of Christmas. Maybe this year will be better.
I have three books I'm in the process of reading. I have been reading The Rift for almost 6 months. It What has an interesting subject, the New Madrid fault and it's history. I've come to a part that has me bored a little and being restless I picked up another book. Heaven is a book by Randy Alcorn that I've had for many years and never read it. With the world in a mess and needing something positive, I thought this would be a good read. It is very enlightening. I love thinking about heaven and the beautiful imagery it brings to mind. This book helps my imagination along and I love it.
The other book I'm reading is Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman. It is about the difference between being a fan of Jesus and being a follower. I've learned that in America, the majority of people are just fans of Jesus and not a follower. Based on the tradition of churches we grew up in, we are all used to following the rules and not Christ. This has been not only enlightening but releasing. What an awesome experience. I would recommend it to anyone.
