I'm offering two corrections to my last entry in this discussion.
I'm reading the book of Micah, right now, and not the book of Genesis. And I'm reading a Spanish version. So the first sentence goes like this:
quote:
Palabra de Jehová que vino a Miqueas de Moreset en días de Jotam, Acaz y Ezequías, reyes de Judá; lo que vio sobre Samaria y Jerusalén.
Generally, I discuss Spanish topics over in the Spanish forum, but this is an exception.

Haha, I'm reading that book too.
The movie is excellent by the way. :)

I just finished "Whence Came a Prince" by Liz Curtis Higgs today, and the first sentence is, "I will never leave you."

I'll never forget the year 1993.
Early in the year I stumbled across solid evidence of a 19th century plot in Great Britain. A clever plot to cover up the real beginnings of the famous,fund-raising pretribulation rapture view of the second coming.

I was reading CC the other day. I just LOOOVEEE Dickens. I'm also reading Great Expectations. Funny, when I was forced to read it in high school, I hated it. Now I can't put it down. Strange, huh?

At Winterfell they had called her "Arya Horseface" and she'd thought nothing could be worse, but that was before the orphan boy Lommy Greenhands had named her "Lumpyhead."

"The goat plays in the meadow with her kids."
from "Animal Families" by Derrydale Books.
It's made of cardboard. All 6 pages.
I have seriously got to either find the nearest library to our new abode, or figure out which box is full of the fiction I haven't read yet.

"Towards the end of November, during a thaw, at nine o'clock one morning, a train on the Warsaw and Petersburg railway was approaching the latter city at full speed."
-Dostoyevsky's 'The Idiot'
Don't be fooled by the boring first sentence, it's actually an awesome book. I love Russian literature!

Perhaps the most important step in learning how to follow Jesus' example and eat the way He ate can be summed up in two important questions.
