Readin'

So lately the last two or three months.   I've been reading a looot of books.      I read one in particular that I really enjoyed called "tilly" the book was based on the situation of a lady and her husband who had had a abortion and 10 years  later the lady was still dealing with depression and guilt issues affecting her and her family.    Its about how she learned of forgiveness through the Cross and how to apply that to her situation and move past it.   And it gives  a perspective from the child\tilly from heaven  that she aborted.      Coming to her mother in a "Dream" and telling her she had forgiven her but just wished so much that she could be with her and her dad and older siblings.    The book mainly told of Gods great love and forgiveness,  it could be applied to any situation but was pointed towards guilt, and esp guilt with abortion.    It was a amazing  book.    The  other one that I've read that I really loved was "Wounded Spirit"   That book was using the Authors negative schooling experiences from grade school until high school,  that mostly took place due too:   physical deformities and other differences and being  a Christian,    the book showed very much how to deal with being a wounded spirit and finding peace and worth in God.   And it explains how that works,  and how teasing and taunting can hurt someone so deeply and can go on to affect them much much later in life and they're self perspective(s)    And it also showed how to ask forgiveness from God and the wounded for those who have been the wounders and to go on leading a different life.     I loved that one too,   Some other books I've been reading are:  "Piercing the darkness"  -  the second book to "this present darkness"   I also have a smaller  book that  I usually read a page or so a day out of called "for the love of children"  Each page will have a little quote,  often a small story of a child.   And encouragement \ wisdom in relating to children and loving them.   Its pretty good,  one of the other books I've been reading is  "sinner"    Although I haven't gotten very far with that one,  its harder for me to get in to his books,   but I always end up enjoying them after-wards   -   well usually;  there was one I didn't like very well.   I'm also reading another one of his books called "White" part of the black, red, white, green trilogy I really like those ones,  but they are easier for me to put down hence the long time it has taken me to read the series.     I finished one of my favorites "nightmare academy"  a month or so ago,   it was awesome,  it'd take to long to explain.  -   the nutshell though is,   its trying to--did show how a life without morals   i.e nothing  set just whatever,  nothing is for sure or right,   Whatever you want to be right is right.  will never work and unfortunately make you go insane.  :P    And I've also started reading the Cooper kids adventure series.   hehe.     I've finished the first one and most of the second one.    And I've been doing my usual reading of my cooking magazines,   "everyday cooking,  better homes and gardens, food everyday, fine cooking etc"   and my other random magazines I enjoy "good things" etc.      And I usually read one of my cook books through two or three times a week,  Ive been reading "the pioneer woman cooks, and in the sweet kitchen"  and also " The elements of cooking" Which so far is good and seems to be more of a facts of cooking in particular subjects then a 'this is how  you do it book'   so its nice,    And it has somewhat gone into mild detail of a few things where it will explain why  its like that.  Which is ....fun, mostly sometimes its like.. "uhh cool?   Things melt cause it got hot,   never woulda guessed"  But overall I'm enjoying it.   My brother asked me very disturbed how I knew so much about random things.   ( I really dont, he was just being flatterful.. Is that a word? :P )    We were talking about the Mayan sacrificing practices    And my usual stutter\uhh uhh uhh bug self attempted to answer " I don't know " but someone else said " Cause she reads ALLLLL the time"   I thought it was kinda funny,  I didn't realize how much I read until  I got to thinking about it.    The only sad thing is out of however many hours I spend reading a day, week, month, year.. its a smaller percentage of time with the Bible then with a food book or a novel.... :\  Bad on me.
