It is hard to believe that August is already over and everyone will be back to school in a week!
It has been a beautiful, hot summer. I wish it could last forever but I guess that won't happen. August has not been quite as busy for me as June and July (which were both very hectic) I have been getting some things done around the house when it hasn't been terribly hot. I'm contemplating what activities I will be involved with this fall. I'm trying not to rush into new adventures (as is my normal bent) I have not decided about attending or teaching a Bible study. I'm waiting on the Lord to give me specific direction on these things. For now, I plan to be concerned with my husband my family, my church and my work at home. I'm thinking of delving into some kind of study just for myself. I am starting to read a little more than I did earlier this summer. I have completed Gary Chapman's The Love Languages of God, Bill Hybels, Just Walk Across the Room and parts of several others. I'm also reading Max Lucado--a book that has three books in it and I'm just about finished the last one, Next Door Savior. I plan to start a biography soon of John Wesley or one of the other old timers. I try to read a few biographies each year.
If you are reading/enjoying these posts, please let me know and give me feddback as that means a lot to me. Thanks. I trust that your fall "new year" planning is coming along nicely and that you are set for the changes that will come with new beginning, new schedules!

Peter and I have been reading/listening to "John Adams" by McCullough. It's very interesting to see how many of the present day tendencies in this country were there at the very beginning. Also, it's been a bit eye opening to realize that the founding of this country wasn't as smooth, clean cut and Christian as some make it sound. Biographies can be very informative!
ReplyDeleteI read John Wesley's biography some years ago. Have you ever read anything by Isobel Kuhn?
--Mary
I am familiar with Isobel Kuhn but it has been years. I have recently gotten into the biography of Queen Noor. I don't confine myself to Christian biographies (although I don't read non-fiction--Christian or otherwise) but I like to read about famous people. I'm learning a lot about Arabs/Muslims etc-- I'm sure you are already very familiar with some of the things I am learning.
ReplyDeleteSorry I meant to say I don't read fiction!
ReplyDelete:-) I kind of figured out what you meant.
ReplyDeleteI read some fiction, but mostly kids' books. I know that's weird, but it gives my brain a rest from the heavier stuff. I also have a couple Jane Austin books I like. Most of what I read is non-fiction.
I should say most of what I read otherwise is non-fiction. I do read a fair amount of kids' fiction. ;-) Just finished reading the Little House books again - though they are not fiction. It was fun to read about some of their self-sustaining methods.
