Reading and Watering

I have so many books in my 'to be read' stack that I need two nightstands. . .

I just finished reading The Scarlet Letter because it was on one of my bookshelves, and for some reason I picked it up instead of something from the 'stack'.

I found it to be the oddest little book! I realize that it was written for and about a different era and generation, but I still had a hard time appreciating its classic designation.

None of the characters were endearing to me; they all creeped me out a little, not just old Roger.

Anyway, I've moved on to a book that my aunt loaned me in Chickasaw: Heart Shift by John Trent. I've only read about three chapters, but so far, so interesting.

The blurb is this: "For so many people, they view change as needing to make a one hundred and eighty degree change - a feat so impossible that they give up or never even begin. Yet two small degree changes in our spiritual life, our marriage or parenting, or even our health can lead us closer to God's heart and our loved ones. Making a '2 degree change' towards the Lord or your loved one that can begin moving you in a positive, freeing, fulfilling direction."

The book is easy to read with excellent analogies and historical, scriptural, and literary references.

Back to daily life, warm weather and a certain blonde, we now have a happiness-guaranteed activity at our disposal: water. (It's just not so fun when it's time to come inside. . . )

And,

By-The-Way,

HAPPY 9th ANNIVERSARY

to Charlotte's parents!!!
