The camera on my laptop obviously shoots the mirror image... so my text is backwards.... but it gets the point across I'm sure.

I've been reading this book called 'Your Secrets Sleep With Me' and it's by a Toronto author named Darren O'Donnell. It's the most tripped out book I've ever read. It's taking me a long time too, because the content is somewhat disturbing at times. So why am I reading it you ask? Well, because it's interesting and forces me to pay attention to something. There are a bunch of characters, most of them are under the age of 16. They all live in Toronto and talk about the weirdest topics... topics that people of their age shouldn't even know about. But at the same time, their dialogue fits so well with who their characters are. Where they've grown up, the 'homes' they live in and the things their eyes have been exposed to... it's really uncomfortable and somewhat guilt-tripping. Maybe you should read it.---
I've also been reading 'Serve God Save The Planet' by J. Matthew Sleeth. This one is good too, but a completely different kind of read. It's on the green kick, but I really like it because it talks about going green from a Christian cleansing kind of way. It's more on saving yourself and the earth benefiting from it. Along with that, I'm also reading (I know, I have like 6 books on the go, but they're all different so it's easy to follow along.) 'Generation Green' by Linda Silvertsen and Tosh Silvertsen (Married? Brother and sister? Both female? I have no idea... that's just how their names are printed on the front) and this one is more from an environmentalist stand. I'm really intrigued by the 'Green' movement and totally want to jump on board. Easier said then done though...---
Confession time... I bought 'Twilight'... yup, that's right.... the vampire-esc new cult fav that everyone and their aunt is reading. Jenn and I bought it because we want to know what the hype is all about, but it's 498 pages (though really large print), and I'm not much into vampires. We'll see though. I'll give you a star rating if I ever finish. We'll see if Stephenie Meyer is actually on to something...---
My father and I are going to study Romans.My mother and I are going to study Ezekiel.
Jenn and I are going to study Matthew - John.
After that I really want to study Acts, Job, Song of Songs, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, all those really tiny 2-pagers.... yea... I want to study it all. The whole Bible. But not just read it, really study it. Know it for more then just fancy words on a page. And I want to study it from all translations, including 'The Word on The Street' by Rob Lacey.
