Randy Pausch -A Must Read!

I checked this out at the library over the weekend. I could not put it down and was so inspired. What a brilliant man he was! If you have a chance to read this-please do!

Favorite read!

I just finished reading this and loved it. My favorite read for the summer! Haven't decieded what I am reading next. I need to fit some more in before good tv returns!

New Reads!

A friend just dropped off these three books for me to read. I love reading and definitely have more time in the summer with road trips or while relaxing on the beach.(yeah right-a couple of more years until that happens) I guess my favorite time to read is right before bed time and books that are fun and light hearted. Has anyone read any of these? I don't know which one to start with?

Inspirations from France & Italy

This book is a must have. If you love decorating and need a new coffee table book-this is the one for you. It is by designer Betty Lou Phillips. It is absolutely beautiful and rooms that you and I can do! Great inspirations with fabulous monograms, fabrics and great trims and fringes. It makes me want to redecorate my whole house.

Circle

I attended a circle meeting at my Church today. Wow how it reminded me that I need to read the Bible. Everything that I learned in Sunday school as a child as escaped me. The circle meets once a month for one hour and is followed with a lunch and a speaker. Childcare is also provided which is a plus for me.

This year we will be studying the book of Ruth and Jonah. We received a study guide to follow along with. So, goodbye watching Bachelor on Monday Nights, hello reading the bible in preparation of my Circle Meetings. It is a great group of women that I mostly know, but some I look forward to getting to know. After our discussion we head to the Fellowship Hall for lunch. Today's lunch was yummy. The room is filled with older church members that have been in the same circle for years. I hope this circle will be one of those many years from now.

I was a member of a circle at my last Church in a different city and it was mostly a group of women with small children and the circle was focused on community care. We had speakers that were on interest to women and volunteered with a community group. I really enjoyed the circle-I was working at the time, so it was an opportunity for my child to play with other children his own age.

It looks like my Circle now is very Bible oriented. Oh how I need it! Mr. 5 is constantly asking questions about God and Jesus and what a better way for me to learn!
