This article at the Bruderhof is interesting. I am of the belief that our children do not get enough of nature. It is hard to achieve this when you live in town. This weekend we are headed to Oklahoma to visit Honey's mom and the rest of his family. They are farm folks. Great Grandpa still lives on the farm with cows, stray dogs and other critters. One Aunt has various horses and creatures. Grandma has a huge backyard. It will be great to be outside.

Readings in 2007
What I've Read in 2006
Eugene H. Peterson: A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society
Life changing. A study of The Psalms of Ascent. IF there were more than 5 stars, this would get 10. (*****)Blue Like Jazz
Excellent in the line, the male Anne Lamont. (*****)Donna Tartt: A Secret History
Also for mature audiences but a wonderful mystery and look at human nature. (*****)Khaled Hosseini: The Kite Runner
Another should read. I really had some preconceived ideas about immigrants and Middle Eastern people that have been changed. (*****)Jennifer Weiner : Good in Bed
Mature audiences only but a good story. (****)Larry Watson: Montana 1948
(****)Cornelia Funke: Inkheart
(****)Michael Crichton: Airframe
Have you ever gotten half way through a book and realized you'd read it before?Jhumpa Lahiri: The Namesake
Loved this and am not sure why. It is a universal story about discontent and finding contentment. Descriptions are brilliant. I could smell the curry. (*****)
Hi there,
Would you mind if I linked to your blog on my blog? You've inspired me to start one- I hope it's not too derivative! :)
