I’m on vacation and while I’d love to offer my readers some food for deep thinking, it will have to wait. My brain has not completely checked out, I’m still reading and participating in the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog challenge. And I’m still reading BOOKS! If you don’t know me, that might not seem like anything, but I never read books. Earlier this summer I made it one of my personal goals to start and finish a whole book. I did it, I completed Sophie Kinsella’s novel, Remember Me?. It was good, light and humorous, so I finished it in a couple of days.
That inspired me to order several more books from Amazon. I have been wanting to read David Platt’s Radical for a long time, so I ordered that. I expect that it will only cement my desire to adopt an orphan. I also ordered three books by Matthew Paul Turner, who’s blog is called Jesus Needs New PR. When first started following Matthew on Twitter and reading his blog more than a year ago, I admit that it annoyed me how often he made fun of us Calvinists. I have since caught glimpses into his heart for Jesus and I have to admit that the majority of the Christian stuff he makes fun of is worth laughing at. And now I love him. I am almost through his book Churched, which reminds me a bit of my youth, and it has me laughing and thinking a whole lot.
So anyway, speaking of amusing and youth…here’s a cute video I shot over the weekend.
