Truth

I am currently reading a book called The Veritas Conflict by Shaunti Feldhahn. I think she is my favorite fiction writer. She also writes non-fiction, some of which is somewhat boring, but in her fiction she is able to include things from her non-fiction and make it interesting and applicable in a pretty cool way.

For example, I read a book non-fiction book by her about women in the workplace, and she does a lot of gender-based research and writing. I also read Lights on Tenth Street, another one of her fiction books, and it showed some of the gender-based stuff, how men differ from women and applied those to marital relationships, and other real life situations (well, they were made up but were still very real) in the book.

Both books also have great imagery of the spiritual warfare and the angels and demons around us all the time along with the power of prayer to empower the angels and allow them to fight off the demons giving God control in our lives.

Anyway, this isn't a review or anything. I am just writing because I really like this book and the other fiction one of I have read by the author. Sometimes I try to stay away from fiction because I tend to get sucked in and it tends to be meaningless or not have much affect on my life. I enjoy these books because they are fiction and they suck me in, but they also give me great reminders and new perspectives on prayer and other issues.

So, life is going well. going to Cedar Point this weekend. Lots of people from Cass City and Kingston going.
Baby is healthy. we couldn't find out the sex today but will eventually. Kassie's doing pretty well. We're both still adjusting to our new life in Kingston. God is good. life is good with God.
