Books and stuff

Think I'll continue my news fast a bit more. Peeked at the headlines earlier today, and they got me so worked up, had to leave the sites. Just don't figure it's advantageous for me to read stuff I can't do anything about---things that seem out of control.

So will putter around the and read more of a book I downloaded for free the other night (a brief give-away from Tyndale), called 'Almost Heaven' by Chris Fabry, a very unassuming author. This book is just magical, and reminds me of Leif Enger's 'Peace like a River'. Both books are touched with pain, but tell the story of what life's really like in such an endearing way.

With my mind racing at times, it's good to read a book that doesn't overdo the drama, but speaks of a life that's ordinary, and dear to God's heart. Makes the mundane seem all the more special.

Besides, it's good to be home just now. Have you noticed that the holiday traffic has already begun? Was out with two of the boys, this afternoon, and there were folks everywhere. Give me home EVERYtime, and I mean it!
