recent readings

so yesterday i wrote this pretty awesome blog, but it was erased :-/ so i figured maybe it wasn't supposed to be put up here. maybe it was my gathering of some thoughts. ok so i'll start a new one today!

i read a book called The Alchemist. it's about dreams, purpose, faith, courage, love... it's an interesting book. it has many many layers to it, i'm suspecting it's a book i'll have to re-read more than once and i'll still find something new every single time.

in my Bible, i'm starting to read Revelations. I love Revelations. people use it to terrorize the "infidels" but i see it as a story of glory, of hope, and of victory. Christ has a white throne, and he gathers His people for an eternity in His undending love. sure, there's the anti-Christ, the beast, and all that stuff, but such is life. the beast roams around, but it has no power over truth, only Christ does. so i like the book of revelation. it's a love story, as is every single book in the Bible. :) I wish people started reading it as such. :)
