Books

All last spring I told myself that I would read a new novel this summer. For the last few years all I have read are non-fiction books (which I do enjoy), but sometimes it is nice to just be entertained with some well-written fiction. Well since the beginning of summer I have not felt like reading anything and it was far easier to sit in front of the TV...not the best idea. So finally last week I picked up a novel. Not a new one, an oldie, but definitely a goodie. I re-read "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. It is 400 and some pages and I read it in two days while feeling crummy, homeschooling, through a Dr. appt. and the regular hub-bub of life. That should say something about how amazing it is. I got convicted that I haven't even been running to my Bible that fast or as excited to turn the next page. But the story is one that inspired me (again) to fall more in love with my God and be more loving and open with my husband. I think I'll go back down my favorite books list and one by one re-read them.
