My last Guidepost had an article about the author of the book The Shack. Yesterday at Wal-Mart I picked up a copy of the book and read it between yesterday evening and this morning. I don't read like"normal" people, as my husband would say. In fact, we tried reading a book together over the winter, both of us had our own copies of The Oath - a book that I felt had enough spiritual significance and relationship stuff to keep my interest and enough manly stuff and sci-fi to to keep hubby's attention. A balanced book we'd both enjoy. We were going to read a chapter and discuss it, and then read some more, etc. Except I couldn't stop myself from reading the whole thing in a day or so, which frustrated him because I was so far ahead of him....and I was frustrated because I was ready to discuss and he was barely into the first chapter! Needless to say, that effort failed and he still hasn't finished the book. But he wants to finish it. And since then I have read dozens of books. We just weren't meant to read together. Or maybe we are and we're supposed to learn a lot through the very challenging process! :) LOL
Anyway, if you are looking for a fabulous book...let me recommend The Shack by Wm. Paul Young. I have to say that I truly LOVE this book and am already looking forward to reading it again! It is just THAT good. But first...I MUST PICKLE! :) LOL I have cukes in brine in the basement that had to ferment for 2 - 3 weeks. Today is the day that they will be canned and hopefully we will also can some regular dills (using a packet of Mrs. Wages dill spice stuff that I have never tried before but have high hopes for!) and maybe some peppers too.
Have a great day! :)

Thanks for the good read, I'll have to check it out. I love love love Claussen Dill pickles so if you make anything close to those please share. I made dill pickles once but I really wasn't impressed, maybe it was the recipe.
ReplyDeleteHi Honey
ReplyDeleteMy friend Rhonda told me about that book. I sure would like to read it. I've got my head in about 10 books right now, all started...none finished.

ReplyDeletei love to read when i can find time...like you, i'm a super reader as well--i think it's because i can't remember what happened from session to session if i stretch the reading out over too long of time :)
