What I have been reading

David has been completely showing me
up with his blogging skills. I fell like I don't have anything else
to say! We are driving along on a perfect rainy day through clouds
and semi-darkness. I love this kind of weather. After over a week
of driving, I realize how important it is to have times to myself.
As Donald Miller says, I am like one of those power drills that
needs about 20 hours of recharging in order to do 10 minutes of
drilling. So this morning David plugged me in: computer,
headphones, the works. I was in a different place altogether.
Wonderful. I have been reading Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller, it
is fantastic. Usually, I am recommending books that I haven't read,
but others I trust have raved about. This time, I have almost
finished it. Nonreligious thoughts on Christian Spirituality, it
calls itself, and has chapters like Community: Living with Freaks
and Faith: Penguin Sex. Another book I am reading is called Third
Culture Kids in anticipation of taking our children abroad as we
study the language and culture of Deaf people. Interestingly, this
is also giving me insight into the life experiences of David's
mother who grew up in Africa like my good friend, Diane, did. So
that is a bit of what is going on with me. It is actually quite a
bit considering I haven't read a book in months. TTFN
