Book Update

I finished 1776 last week, it was good, but I didn't enjoy it as well as John Adams. David M is a great writer though, I like history and he has a good way of bringing it to life. Now I've started "The Kingdom of God is Within You" by Leo Tolstoy, its one of those books that takes me a while because I have to stop and re-read some things and it requires a lot of thought. I haven't read anything else from him but hope to someday. I hope to make it through it though, because I like C.S. Lewis (probobly my favorite writer at the moment) and he is not a Pacifist. I guess I'm not not one either since I dont object to war. I finished Leviticus this morning, I started reading the Bible through again this year, I skipped last year and missed having it as a structured part of my day. I love the Word of God. This year the plan is reading the Old Testament and the New at the same time. I like reading through that way as opposed to cover to cover, it feels more balanced. Reading it 1st thing in the morning is important to me, I've realized that my day doesnt feel right if I dont start it with God. I'm praying currently for some direction in my walk, my wife mentioned the other day that we needed a youth minister in our church, I dont know if when she mentioned this that God was putting a bug in my ear or if was just a suggestion on her part. These are some of the things that I am dealing with at the present time.
