Practically a Library

I feel like I start a lot of things and don't finish them.

I have countless books in my list of books to read. But it's not just that I'm not reading them (which is definitely part of the issue) but the ones I do start I don't finish. I just took a tally of the physical books I have in my room that I intend to read. 13 I have read previously, 10 unread, and 12 which I have started, but not finished.

That's quite a bit.

One of my goals this year is to read 12 books (excluding the Bible, which I also intend to read through this year). To do this I'd been planning to put aside an hour or so before bed each day... I really haven't been doing that... and until yesterday I had completed 0 books.

Yesterday I went to my parents' house and did some housework and spent time with my parents just hanging out, nothing special. While there I picked up my mail and part of it was a book I had ordered (I know, eh? Me, ordering books?? The problems with having a visa debit card). It had been highly recommended to me and I couldn't get one here. On Amazon it was 6 dollars (plus shipping because apparently all books are from the UK) so I bought it.

The book is titled "Is God anti-gay? And other questions about homosexuality, the Bible and same-sex attraction" by Sam Allberry. Only 85 pages. It was a good book and I'll write more of my thoughts on it later, but it was really good hearing from a pastor who struggles with SSA and he didn't get into too much detail about personal experiences or anything, but what he did say was really true of my experiences. He also went over the Biblical passages and again without going into too much detail did a great job of explaining the Biblical point of view. It was encouraging to read and a good reminder of how God calls everyone to repentance.

Anyways, ttyl.
