I just finished Sacred Trust by Hannah Alexander. It is the first book in a trilogy about the life and adventures of a christian emergency room doctor. It was pretty believable and enjoyable light reading.
This was the second book I’ve read by this author. The first was Hideway.
Tuesday is a holiday so I’ll probably stay at home and bug Fran. Follow the link to see what it is all about. The park I walk thru on the way to the office was renamed to “Peace Park” or “228 Park” in memory of the event.
This morning I received this from a friend. I pass it along without knowing if it is accurate .
If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.
The rate in Washington, DC is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation’s Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington DC
I just realized that I didn’t post about the last book I finished. I guess I forgot since I was in Thailand at the time. The book was Showdown by Ted Dekker.
I really like the author. His style is very readable. He writes things concerning the spiritual side of life. His books make you think.
But . . . his last 4 efforts, this one and the 3 book series: Black, Red, and White called The Circle Trilogy were not as good as his first nine or ten books. Don’t get me wrong I like Showdown, I would just like for him to return to his earlier type material sometimes.
You could probably get a copy of one of his books from you local library
This morning at BSF leader’s meeting we sang an old hymn that I hadn’t heard in a long time (that’s not really anything new
)
The title is “Trusting Him When Thy Wants Are Many” and I was especially struck by the last verse, it goes like this:
Trust Him, then, through clouds or sunshine,
all thy cares upon Him cast,
Till the storm of life is over,
And the trusting days are past.
Ahhhhh, the trusting days are past because we are together with Him ! ! !
From a trivia website I read:
• The amount in taxes paid over a lifetime by the average US citizen is spent by the federal government in about 2.4 seconds.
UNBELIEVABLE!
