reading a book

For those of you that frequent the Porch you'll know that family is of primary importance, and with that in mind I thought I'd share with you all.

I haven’t read the Twilight series for a number of reasons and had no plans to start any time soon. After the wellspring of negative reaction to Breaking Dawn, the series-ender, I can’t say I feel as though I’m missing anything.

An Indiana college student stands accused of “openly reading [a] book related to a historically and racially abhorrent subject in the presence of [his] Black co-workers.”

Unfortunately, I don’t read as much as I used to–at least not books. I actually spend most of my time reading, but that’s mostly on the web–techie stuff, blogs, news, and millions of emails. I don’t get much of a chance to read fiction just for fun except in my, uh, “office”.

So I need your help with something. Recently, I’ve been struggling with the idea of the “Sabbath”. I think this is a spiritual discipline I have ignored for most of my adult life. I have always blamed it on the fact that I work on Sundays, but I know that’s just a lame excuse.

The power of Twitter never fails to surprise me.

My co-author Mike Naughton likes to remind people in his talks around the world about faith and work that "If we don't get leisure right, we can't get work right."

A few weeks ago I started reading a book about the Underground Railroad titled “Bound for Canaan”.
