Pen Stroke and Page

Ok, finally it has happened. I am reading! I gathered books that were all half finished and already got through two of them this past week. One more to go! (^_^) Of the books finished their is the one recently posted on called "12 Ordinary Men" which was absolutely brilliant in my opinion. Not the best book I've read, but I've never felt so close to the disciples nor have I understood them as so close to me. The other book was called "Glow in the dark" and was (as the title depicts) a book about growing into maturity and then letting it out into the world. It was a very good book, the likes of a Max Lucado book I think, but didn't press on me any more than a Max book would. Not that I am complaining about Max, he's awesome, but their is a difference I am aware of personally. While I am moved by Max and find support/encouragement in similar writings, I have never been more moved than by Erwin McManus. Not yet anyhow. None-the-less, all great books.

In addition to those fun reads I have undertaken the books of the bible again. I have read the majority before, at some point, but most I couldn't tell you about now. I just don't remember and I know how wrong that is so, while others around me have mentioned and decided to read it, I to will do so. Genesis, Exodus and the Gospels I know very well so I decided to start instead with the minor prophets and work backwards through the Old Testament. Most of these are the books I had not read or been in studies on. As I read, about one a night, I am writing my thoughts down on it and while most are not very inciteful I thought I'd post them as I go.

So far I have gotten through Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, and Malachi skipping Zechariah because of it's size. I will go back to it later though. Ok, that's all for now. God Bless.
