Yay, another post finally!

Okay, so back by demand, all right, so two of my friends, (loyal readers, yay) said they were checking my blog for new posts.

I'm just not really great at it. There's not usually too much to say. Of course if I were reading more serious stuff than fiction, I'm getting bored of reading, (it's winter, can you tell? good grief, if I'm bored of reading, erg).

I do have something, we have a church we are attending regularly (in a deep voice). It's Century Baptist. I really like it. The pastor's been sorta preaching on The Great Omission by Dallas Willard, which I'd checked out his The Divine Conspiracy and never go around to reading, too many books! I mean 'sorta' by he doesn't preach the book, he preaches Scripture, which make a world of difference. I think talking about books that are influencing your spiritual walk are good, but to base an entire sermon on a book not the Bible is a little iffy.

But he preaches from John 15, the "Abiding" chapter, and it's been good. We've got a Bible study group tonight that we'll be going to the first time. I'm pretty excited.

I've been swimming at least once a week, the last three weeks, which feels really great! My back and sides get pretty sore at night, so I'm already getting used to not getting sleep, ugh!

I did enjoy reading Lisa Wingate's Drenched in Light, lovely title, 3rd in a series, but I didn't realize that! The main character struggled with bingeing and purging and trying to fit and making a difference in her job as a middle school counselor. Loved it. Going to read the first two. Also read Anita Shreve's Where or When and Sue Monk Kidd's The Mermaid Chair, both about women dissatisfied with their marriages, well, the former is more about the man, tragic ending, and the other is more about the woman, but if they put as much energy into marriage as they do in sustaining an affair, their marriages would be better. It's very annoying, kind of a "I just don't feel like working at this, and I'm unhappy, so, oh, this looking interesting, I'm gonna try it out, since I'm looking for my self" mentality. Utterly selfish. Of course, I've only been married 15 months, so I'm a naive newlywed. HA! Marriage takes work, as does anything worth anything.

And lest anyone think that I think all separations/divorces are completely selfish, let me say for the record, if a person is being abused, mentally, verbally, physically, sexually, GET OUT OF THERE. Separating should be part of working with the abuser to decide to change. And getting back together should happen when the abuser has proven him/herself trustworthy and is in counseling.

Anyway, and that's my short version because it's lunch and I need to feed my hungry man!
