"Your are the same today as you'll be in five years except for two things, the people you meet and the books you read".

Chritmast 2008, my sibling and I had a wager on how many books we can read by the following Christmast as a mean to a healthy distraction from watching TV and such. While the wager has ended I continue to venture on since. I finished my of 13th book for the 2012 year with "Weird" by Craig Groeschel as recommended by Pastor Jay Shetler.  As  Charles E. Cowman succinctly says "The more we read the more we believe, the more we believe the more we hope, the more we hope, the more we pray, the more we pray, the more we love, the more we love, the more we labor." Below is the list of completed reading for the 2012. Thank you to all you wise men and women for the recommended reading.
