Escapist

I have been doing more than procrastinating around here lately.  I have been escaping my duties.  I look at all that needs to be done and I run away.  I have no desire or drive to accomplish the tasks on my list.  And believe me I am all about checking things off.  I remember back in college I was typically assigned the job of keeping everyone on track as I am the task-master.  (That was the title they gave me.)

I believe I mentioned before that I am enjoying using Bill's Kindle for reading books.  Well it has now become an obsession as I am probably reading about a book every two days.  Unfortunately they have not been anything deep or soul-searching.  Mostly in the realm of christian fiction, suspense with a little bit of romance thrown in.  That last part is new for me.  Haven't really been in to the whole romance genre.  I do remember trying to read them back in high school.  My grandmother was a harlequin junky and would pass along the reads to my Mom who them allowed me to read them.  I remember learning A LOT through those books.  Pretty steamy for a 10th grader.  (Abs will NOT be getting into those.  (Warrior Cats is sounding better and better.))  Oddly enough it did not make me a romantic.  Now don't get me wrong any female loves the idea of flowers, chocolates, and such but I will kill flowers and I buy my own chocolate.  But I have become completely hooked.  It has been getting harder and harder to find a decent one as I am trying to keep the costs down.  I usually stick to under $3.00.  The occasional $5.00 and very seldom the $10.00.  The latter typically happens because I read a book that was in the series and I need to finish it!!!   (Just shows more of that personality to have to check things off!)  I like to think I started my summer reading early and hope that I will be motivated throughout the summer to do the tasks that need to get done!

But now here I sit, literally, and just push it all away.  Not quite sure why but need to change it!  So I will welcome any and all prayers said up to the One who can light the fire under my butt.

BTW - will take any book suggestions!  + wink, wink +

Head on over to this blog about us.  Our church, Calvary Chapel Mercer County, is hitting the social media hard.  We were asked by the lovely woman running it if she could interview us.  We of course said yes!!  Here is the link to that  http://blog.welcometocalvary.org/
