Summer Fun!
The summer is just zipping by and I'm lovin' every minute of it. Life is so calm and relaxing (outside of worrying endlessly about Skylar and Jamie in Colorado and all their housing woes - to the point that I would get stomach aches just thinking about it - God must have wonderful things in store for them as they go through the fire of faith and patience!!)
I've had numerous people comment that I look so refreshed that I'm too the point of questioning what on earth I looked like before!! :) It is true though, I am relaxed and refreshed. I think that comes with being able to read for pleasure - which I have been doing endlessly - reading numerous books since the end of April.
My favorite single book has been "The Shack". You simply must get it! Very thought provoking and I think, faith challenging. Makes you step back and reconsider what you believe about the trinity and why. Excellent book - wonderful book club choice.
Currently I am making my way through a 5 book Christian Historical Fiction series - Chronicles of the Kings by Lynn Austin. She is quickly becoming my favorite author to date! This series takes you through the Chronicles of Old Testament Kings and gives you a great glimpse at what happens regarding obedience and disobedience to God. Exciting and captivating reading! Stays very close to the biblical accounts.
Tim and I have started our summer travels, having returned last Saturday from 10 days in Boston. Great to see Tori and Tory and meet some more of Tory's family. Tim and I also stayed at a B and B in Vineyard Haven on the Island of Martha's Vineyard. This was courtesy of First Presbyterian Church, a gift to me for graduation. A great, relaxing time. See the pix!
