I just finished reading "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" which was fairly enjoyable. Wasn't a "page turner" so to speak, but I liked it. It kept my interest. It was a novella... which are really fun to read because they are usually less than 100 pages so they are somewhat quick and intense and full of action (like short stories) but are slightly more developed. I think he could have developed the characters wayyy more though. They are GREAT characters. Classic characters even. He could have made it a huge novel... but I liked it.I figure, it's a good story if you know the plot and characters and haven't even read the book. If it's that influential, it must be good. I started Dante's Inferno... which is gonna be a beating probably... it looks pretty rough. But I know it's an important work so I should read it. I also have Huck Finn and Frankenstein on my docket for the summer... and maybe some H.G. Wells in addition.
Reading has become easier for me I think... I can now read with slight distractions... whereas before I had to have complete silence.
Anyways, life is great. I miss Jennifer like mad... but I will be seeing her in a few weeks as I trek down to the wasteland that is Alabama to spend a week(ish) with her at Camp Victory. I am sure it will be a week to remember. I hope God just shows me some awesome stuff as well. I haven't done many ministries as of late, so I think this could be a great time for me.
I am way behind on my devotions... I need to read super extra to catch up on my read-the-Bible-in-a-year thing. I want to finish it though... I have come half way... I don't want to give up. it is not quite as meaningful if you read to accomplish reading the whole thing... but it's just something I need to do.
anyway. Life is great... God is good. I am happy.
