Reading

Anyone that knows me, knows I am not a fan of reading...
unlike my sister who can read 10000 pages per minute it takes me 5 hours to read 60 pages. Now the difference between my sister and I is that my sister has been reading since... well lets just say I don't remember a time when she was without a book, and I have the disability of ADHD causing high distractions whereas my sister could read during a tornado and not be phased (being creative/crafty and the love and ability to read like no other are two things my sister was blessed with that I missed out on!) *but that is okay, I make up for it -love ya Rach-* :)

All of this to say that I picked up a book again today... it is "Blue like Jazz" by Donald Miller. I have begun this book many times, and have probably read the first few chapters 4 times. The beautiful thing about this book is how laid back and yet deep it is.

I guess I am saying... I am reading, slowly but surely and highly recommend this book!
In a chapter called "Faith; penguin sex" Donald is asked where his faith comes from; he refers to penguins and ultimately states that the mother penguin leaves the egg with the father for a month at a time to go fishing... the DAY she returns to the father and the egg; the egg hatches... how does the mother know to return? She just knows... He says "I don't think you can explain how Christian faith works, it is a mystery. And I love this about Christian spirituality. It cannot be explained, and yet it is beautiful and true. It is something you feel, and it comes from the soul"
