Wish List

I love reading. I miss reading. I haven't had much time to read recently, but I was thinking about it tonight and realized that I could be reading when I'm nursing, since I can't do much else during that time. I've read the books I own, and I enjoy getting new books, but haven't done that in quite a while because the money just isn't there right now.

So I've made a little list of the things I would get if I had the money. I think I'll start saving and get them over a period of time... I should be able to get about one a month if I cut out everything else I might spend my $5/week on.

-Fireproof: DVD, Study Series, Love Dare
-I Promise by Dr. Gary Smalley
-Intended for Pleasure by Dr. Ed Wheat
-Love & Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs
-The Duggars 20 and Counting by Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar

my addiction

Contrary to popular belief, I am not perfect :)
My weakness is books. I can go to the stores and resist clothes- and yes, even shoes- but if you take me to a book store I walk around drooling at all the pretty paper just begging me to pick it up and read it. Today Ken and I went to Gresham so I could take a couple of tests for school (a weekly event) and we stopped by the Christian Outlet afterwards. We went in so Ken could look for a book. What did we come out with? Oh yes, books for me and three little pamphlets for him! I have four new books to add to my reading list, and I'm looking forward to them!

Countering the Claims of Evangelical Feminism by Wayne Grudem
The Power of a Praying Woman by Stormie Omartian
A Kiss is Still a Kiss by Laura Jensen Walker
Defending Traditional Marriage by Willard F. Harley, Jr.

I'll let you know how I like them when I finally get to them. I'm thinking winter break will be a good time since I won't have class for a couple of weeks. I'm praying that I'll find time to relax and read one before then, but we'll see.
