Like a child
I've started reading a Children's Bible for my devotions. Each morning I read one story, and there are a couple of simple questions at the end of each story. Usually I can answer them. I'm not recommending this as a way to do devotions or anything, but... to be perfectly honest, I have been in a real rut in regards to reading lately. I just haven't felt like it. I don't know how many books I've started and only made it through the introduction. I haven't even felt like reading the Bible - only doing it for sermon preparation. Certainly this is not a scholastic achievement of any kind, and I really wish I would develop a hunger for books again - there are so many good ones out there. But this is where I'm at. I think perhaps the very first song I ever played and sang in church was "I Want To Be A Child Again." And I really do want to read. Just not right now.

Probably just a case of book burnout. I think I went almost 2 months last year without reading anything other than things I had to read. It was crazy.
My advice: take this opportunity to listen to some good tunes. When you're a reader by nature, books eventually find their way back in.
Or, take 2 weeks off work and go on an exotic vacation to celebrate 25 years of marraige to the best mom in the world. :) (dont' forget to come back...)
I smell a "Are You Biblically Smarter Than A 5th Grader" coming soon.
"Or, take 2 weeks off work and go on an exotic vacation to celebrate 25 years of marraige to the best mom in the world."
This sentence is kind of funny if you don't know Carrie's your daughter.
I still remember the first Sunday you sang...and yes, that was the song. I still remember some of the words...especially, "I want to see the world through a five year old's eyes. Yeah...the sounds good.
Carrie,
Yeah... I think I'll take one of those vacations to go, please. Sounds like good advice.
Tom,
That is an excellent idea for Sunday mornings!
MR,
Definitely Carrie's mom. Definitely.
Jah,
Well, I'm glad you remember it. That moment left my memory banks a long time ago. :)
