I haven't really put anything about my recent life on here in a while. I haven't really felt the urge to update with random stories. Somehow, tonight I do. Well, I guess it's morning now -- 12:03. Summer break officially started a few weeks ago. I haven't done anything exciting or outstanding so far. I've been reading a lot of good books, which has been very nice. I finally finished The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis that Matt Glover has been encouraging me to read for a few months. I've also finished Defeating Darwinism, Every Storm, Goodnight, Mister Tom, Rachel's Tears, Through the Gates of Splendour, some of Poems by C.S. Lewis,and am currently reading Amy Carmichael's Mimosa. I have a mental list of the books I want to read, but I must admit it has been terribly interrupted over and over again by most of the titles above. I am also currently reading a book aloud to Tamara. It's over 400 pages, so she didn't really want to take on the task herself. She's definitely very much into it now, but she is a little embarassed that I'm treating her as a blind person. "All I need is my cane and sunglasses!" The Lord has been sending us rain!!! Since moving here, I have come to the point where I am no longer content to listen to and watch a thunder storm. I have to go out and be in it. I would put on some photographic evidence, but I don't want to scare away all of my many faithful readers. Today Tamara and I made pizza whilst listening to Christmas music. I'm excited about our Christmas picnic plans with the Blakstons and some others -- or Christnic, as Micah Humphries pointed out we must be celebrating. I think next year we'll skip the whole shipping-presents-to-the-States thing. So enjoy them this year, those of you who will hopefully be receiving something special from us soon. I am sure postage people throughly enjoy ripping people off, especially around Christmastime! I also watched this amazing movie tonight called "North & South". It is a Jane Austen-ish, 4-hour-long, BBC production. The Glovers let us borrow it, but I really didn't think I'd like it nearly as much as I did. Speaking of the Glovers... I found out this week, whilst conversing with Matt over IM, that Justine is expecting their 4th child!!!!! Even just staring at the words on the computer screen made me scream and laugh out loud. We are so incredibly overjoyed, as I am sure they are. Praise the Lord for this good gift of new life! Well, it's 12:17 now, and I think Tamara is wanting to do some more reading. What can I say? We're on holidays! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Have fun in the snow while we sweat in our Summer Wonderland! Goodnight. p.s. Tamara has a much better post...

My life is not my own, for I belong to Christ.
