There is not enough time in the day...


for me to read everything that I want to (plus all my school-related work). I think a library card was a dangerous idea. I tend to get in phases where I can't learn enough about a particular subject, so I try to read everything I possibly can about it. This usually results in lots of knowledge (and hopefully some understanding) and not so much sleep. I currently have about 5 more books on reserve at the library, just waiting for other people to finish up! Then I have a "to request" list for when I'm done with those. Can you believe they let you check out 30 items at a time? Crazy! Anyhow, lately I am desperate to learn more about the nature of salvation and how it relates to the environment, and absolutely everything around me. (I picked an easy one, right?) I think in the past I have been interested in lots of peripheral concepts and truths, but I never really worked out what salvation means at its deepest level and how it translates into every aspect of my life.

This is taking me on quite the journey, let me tell you. It's one that I'm anticipating an end to (I hope!) because I think there are always new ways to understand Jesus and redemption in the midst of everything. Anyhow, I would love some recommendations on more reading, even if it won't happen until next year! I'm hoping tonight to just give up on the reading and go to sleep. Maybe.
