Book Reading Update:

A few blogs back I posted those 100 books to read. I was going to start from the bottom up but then that first one was hard to find AND it sounded kinda lame.

I did read the lion the witch and the wardrobe which is on there. It was good funny what I remember from being a kid and reading it..that dang Turkish Delight sounds so good. I want Brieson the bro in law to make it for me! It did also confirm that the book was way better than the movie for sure!

I also started Song of Solomon(really weird so far!) I cant even go in to that yet but when i finish it will be an interesting review.

I have actually been working on the big one from the list THE BIBLE. I mean its on the list and eventually if I had any order to reading I would have to read that one.

So I just finished Genesis. It is so interesting how the stories you hear in church or have actually read many times can still show you such different things. I love that! I really liked reading Genesis. Favorite Story - I really love the creation part..just cuz it is so amazing to think about and still not really understand. I like the story about Joseph and how forgiving he was to his family. Noah..with that boat! that would have been so hard. I think about that move cant think of what it was called..Noah Almighty i dunno it was so funny but still to really think about it I am sure all those people back in Genesis thought Noah was a freak! and then they were sorry too.

 I think the one that stuck out to me the most is when Abraham is asked to sacrifice his son. UGH! that would be SO CRAZY! something I never noticed before was how when Issac kinda realized what was goin down he asked his dad uhm hey wheres the lamb? and Ab replied "My son God will provide for himself the lamb.." He didnt try and cop out with some whinny "oh son god is making me kill u!" he just had faith and stayed strong in front of his child. He knew whatever happened would all work out. which it did the Angel stopped him and a ram appeared instead. But I just LOVED that! Sometimes we people can be so...LAME in how we approach situations and I could never imagine being asked to sacrifice my little monkey and to see this strong example of faith and courage...It's nice it makes me want to be better and yea I just loved it.

So now im in Exodus I will update you when I finish. =]
