Confessions...

Well... they say confession is good for the soul. One of my aspirations for this year was to read through the Bible in a year; this goal has gotten seriously derailed... If I can be honest, sometimes all the detail about the tabernacle and the sacrifices just is not that gripping to me! I feel like a terrible Christian for saying so, but it just doesn't move me. So if any of you pals who read this have read through the Bible in a year and have any words of wisdom or encouragement... I am open for a spiritual kick in the pants. :-) I've gotten into Leviticus now, I FINALLY made it out of Exodus, but I hardly read all week. When I try I just fall asleep. I reread the same few verses over and over trying to get the flow and just find the words swimming in front of me! HELP!

A real musical

Carol and I went to the GVSU Opera and Theater production of Ragtime. They did a wonderful job. What a wonderful, challenging show! It deals with the struggles of an Jewish immigrant, a black couple and a white family and how their unique struggles collide and bring their lives together.

Huzzah to the musicians and singers of the GVSU OT department. Absolutely grand.
