Books I want to read

I have been compiling a list of books I would like to buy and devour. I spend so much money on other things which could arguably be of little value, why not invest in some good books for once?

1. Boy Meets Girl - I read this a couple years ago, but it is time to own it and reread it.


2. Ten Questions to Diagnose Your Spiritual Health - This has been highly recommended to me by a few different people recently. And I heard the author speak at a conference in August.


3. Doing Things Right in Matters of the Heart - I quoted this on a fb note recently, now I have to read it. Recommended by a pastor of mine...


4. The ESV Study Bible - My most anticipated book coming out this year! Edited by some great Christian men I know of and recommended by many guys I appreciate. I have never owned a study Bible and I am really excited to dig in.


4 new books from Amazon.com - Total Cost: $76.81 w/ free shipping

Maybe I should take a semester just to study these books. Sounds way more relevant and exciting than business school...

The end just means a beginning...

Now that school has officially started and summer is a distant memory, I have much to write about. I could give a recap of the entire summer or the past week, but both would take too much of everyone's time.... So instead, I will write about this day.

Today I had my first full day of classes as a senior in the Haworth College of Business.
I was astonished throughout the entire day with the fact that every single new instructor seems to be top notch and very good at what they do! To add to that, all of my classes this semester are either in my major (marketing) or closely related -- very exciting. I feel like I will actually want to study and learn about everything I will be taught this semester!

Tonight I have been doing the normal (but not done so on a normal basis) household chores. Now that I have the apartment to myself, if I don't load/unload the dishwasher or take out the trash or clean the mold from the bathroom sink, then no one will do it. And that's when I ran into the brownish, grossest, makes-you-gag liquid running from the much too full kitchen trash bag. My thanks to the folks who invented cheap, piece-of-crap garbage bags. But I really am thankful for Clorox Wipes and Tilex Mold and Mildew remover, both of which when used together create a formidable scent...
In any case, I am going to buy some heavy duty trash bags for the kitchen from now on.
