Reading, reading, and more reading...

     You know the drill.  Go to class and take this book home and read it by tomorrow.  There may be a quiz on it on Monday...but maybe not.  Walking the line of a student can be quite the challenge some days. You read a page only to realize that you haven't any idea what you've just read.  Or perhaps after an hour or so you awaken to find your head buried in some tex...t literally...and hoping no one saw you.  Well today feels like one of those days.  The books I'm going through at the moment are historical and biblical.  How does one piece together the extensive and somewhat complicated history of the Christian Church?  Another one deals with the reading of Scripture and how the Old and New Testaments link together.  It's actually quite interesting reading that demands deep concentration proving a challenge at times.  Coming from me that sounds a bit strange to many of my friends.  I'm the one who was always reading something, but when it's your job it takes on a whole new meaning.  I'm learning how to read fast when I prefer to take my time and savor each page.  In actuality it just takes me a bit longer to comprehend it all.  In any case I'm diving back in.  Wish me God's speed...
