Lately I’ve found myself buying more books but reading less of them because I am constantly reading smut on social media. Who’s been offended by whom, what the latest “crisis” is that I should be upset about. Out of the 200+ plus “friends” that I have on Facebook, only about 5 of them post things that stimulate the sensors in my mind which other wise lay dormant while reading other posts. I have one friend, or maybe just a really good associate who goes incognito from time to time and I never really understood why until recently. I have decided that the amount of time I spend on social media I can use reading books and stimulating my mind. I can even spend time on this blogging venture. Reading books opens parts of my mind and even my soul that leave me wanting more. There is no better feeling than wanting to learn more and venturing out to do so.

Social media just doesn’t do it for me. I find myself wanting to take red pens to most of the statuses that I read and see on a daily basis. In fact, the other might I corrected my own family member after they stated their life has made a 360 and people were congratulating them on this. I was very appalled and I had to correct them. I nicely put “its 180, not 360.” Of course they liked my comment but I wonder if they really understood what I meant.

Reading is fundamental and it is the foundation to all other subjects. Reading and comprehending what you read can be life changing. It will open doors that you didn’t even realize existed. You can find a book on just about any subject there is. Reading books is also entertaining, even more so than social media.

With all this being said, I think that I too will take a break from social media once my son’s football season is over and dive into the many books I have on my reading list and try to make time to share my thoughts and feelings on them.

Happy reading, folks!

Lost and Found

I just finished a book by pastor T.D Jakes’s daughter. On my new journey to becoming a better christian, it was definitely a plus that I read it. Too many times you find yourself wondering if God is really there, or if you are even worthy enough of His grace. It was good to read a story like hers. No matter what you do or go thru, you are not alone and yes you ARE worthy of his grace regardless of what people say or think about you. You are never going thru anything by yourself. God is always there even if you can’t or won’t acknowledge Him. Sometimes when you think you are running from Him, what you are actually doing is running right to Him without even realizing it. He is the greatest parent of all. It is never too late to seek Him and you are never too broken for Him to fix. These are things I know I will need to remember on my journey. It will jot be easy because something this good never is. But it will become easier the more I let my faith in Him grow. I will definitely have to purchase a copy of this book to add to my library because there were a few points I wanted to highlight so that I could reference them later. I am very glad that I decided to get this book from the library.
