Bible on CD
This Wendsday I decided to purchase the Bible on CD. The reason I made this purchase was because I have not been able to do my morning devotions. I thought the least I could do is listen to the Bible on my way to work in the morning.
So far it's working fairly well. At least I am hearing the Word for a little bit each day. I personally feel my mind wander when I am trying to listen.
I will let you know how the experiment is going.
The last two Fantasy books I have been reading are Wizard of London by Mercedes Lackey and Harrowing the Dragon by Patricia McKillip.
I thought Wizard of London was a good Lackey book but I felt like the pacing was all loaded in the front of the book. Really all the interesting stuff happens in the first half. Still the book does a good job of emotionally connecting you to the Characters.
Harrowing the Dragon is a book of short stories by Patricia McKillip. McKillip is my favorite fantasy writer right now. Her prose is beautiful as a poem and really places you in another world. All her tales have a hint of melencholy. I hightly reccommend her as an author.
In Non-fiction I read Why I am Catholic by Garry Willis. It is an exelant History of the Papacy and an insight into the life of it's author. It explains why someone is a Catholic despite the checkered history of the Papacy. I love the last section of the book which is about the Creed. Anyone who wants to know more about Church History and the history of the papacy I would reccomend this book to them.
Also I am going to play Dungeons and Dragons tommorow. I am looking forward to this game because I have never really played before even though I love Fantasy books. I am either going to create a Dwarvish fighter or maybe a human Paladin.
