6 things I’m up to
November 25, 2008
I’ve mentioned before that writing does not come easily to me. Basically, a post has to hit me over the head before I can begin to think about putting it down. That–and my laziness–accounts for the lack of decent posts as of late. So to catch you up, here are some things I’ve been doing. In no particular order.
- I’m reading The Shack by William P. Young. I’m just over halfway through. It’s…interesting. I’m holding off on any definitive opinions until I finish.
- I just subscribed to receive chunks of the Bible emailed to me daily with the goal of reading through the Bible chronologically in a year. Oh, I hope I can stick with it but I must admit, I’m not feeling hopeful. But I’m gonna give it a shot. Wanna join me? You can pick your own Bible reading plan here.
- Brian and I started going to marriage counseling again, because there’s more work to do and it’s worth fighting for.
- We just celebrated (?) one year of living in Texas. (If you’re new here, that’s because we were living in New York where my husband was a pastor but resigned because I was struggling with depression. Read all about it here.)
- The baby, now 10 months old, has 4 teeth. Recent events make me question whether or not I desire to continue breastfeeding. If you know what I mean.
- I’m struggling with the gargantuan difference between my comfy, cushy life here in America and the tragic situation in Congo. I do not want to close my eyes and do nothing, but what do I do? Should I be as concerned as I am about what I’m going to cook for Thanksgiving, what gadgets I will buy for Christmas, or how I will decorate my house?
I have two children sitting on each knee reading this over my shoulder. Apparently they think I should be done writing. Thus begins another day…

Well, have you finished The Shack? It is very interesting and one you have to read to the end to fully grasp his points. I ended up loving it, but held my reservations through it as well.
Thanks for the info. What a great website.
Secondly, I just signed up for the bible chronilogically as well. I have always wanted a chronological bible. I am a chronological person, hence the reason I use the classical teaching method with my children. That is how I learn best and if you put it in a variant order, I am confused
Also, I loved your letter to your son. I know he will too.

[...] Back in November I started reading The Shack. It is now March. Have I finished it? No. I got about 2/3 of the way through and lost interest. Consequently, it sat on our shelf untouched for several months. I wasn’t going to finish it at all but I picked it up again the other night when I exhausted all my recent library finds. [...]
