The last couple of days I have found myself more melancholy than usual. I should know better! I saw that movie, Love Happens, over the weekend. A mushy, romantic movie will do it to me every time. Torture it is but I still go pay my $9.50 and sit there by myself. Actually, this time, I dragged my son and his girlfriend to see it with me. Not much dragging on her part but I could hear him grumbling over there. I was glad I didn't sit next to him! I left the theater missing my guy even more (yep, it's possible!!) and daydreaming that he would magically show up on my door step professing his undying love and how he can't live without me. Hey, hope and dreams are wonderful things!
Anyway, these are the two books I am currently reading, Every Women's Battle by Shannon Ethridge, and When God Writes Your Love Story by Eric & Leslie Ludy. As you can tell, one is a bit worn. I have read it several times over now, always getting something new out of it (I'm sorry, I know it's not good grammar to end a sentence with it). I like these books because they have thought provoking questions and they are both centered on the Bible. I am considering writing about some of the points that I find interesting. If anyone has read either of these, drop me a line to let me know what your thoughts are on them.

There is always a benefit when searching for truth. Be it faith or relationships...the search eventualy becomes the benefit. We often think that there is some bit of knowledge or "gnosis" at the end of odysey...but as the ancient greeks pointed out, the odysey is the place where knowledge is gathered. The story ends with the awarness of the "gnosis" aquired on the trip. I ask myself who I would be with out the many twists and turns my life took while on it's journey. I believe I am who I am because of my lifes exposures. I hope you are too.
