Approximately 130 minutes of reading.
This week I started reading an old set of books that I read when I was younger. Theses books were my favorite because I always learned something out of them. The Boxcar Children. I started reading the first one because that was always my favorite. The kids left their homes and went to live in a box car off of an old train. The kids face many obstacles within their time in the boxcar; however, it is such an exciting book full of many different adventures.
Also, I have been reading a couple of random books in the Bible. I have been reading Proverbs and 1 Timothy. I like reading these books in the Bible because they encourage me during the crazy times of our world. As a college student, I can really focus on these two books for helping me get through the day.

Roughly 130 minutes of reading.
This week I read a fair amount of each of the four Gospels...Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. If you are familiar with the Bible, you know that these Gospels are talking about the same thing told in a different perspective. I believe that to fully interpret the whole story, you need to read all of the gospels and compare and contrast each of them.
In doing this, I realized that it took a lot of careful reading and at times rereading. I did this as a weekly study because it definitely took more than a couple of nights to comprehend all of it. I barely got to touch on John because John is the most different between all of the gospels. I have studied the gospels before but it was never a comparing situation.
Also, I finished Hatchet this week. Brian found an emergency transmitter in a bag on the plane and it didn't work very well; however, Brian began to flip the switch on and off and eventually a signal was sent to a station. A pilot comes and saves Brian. Through all of this, Brian's attitude is changed drastically and he has a better understanding of life.

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful beginning to fall! Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons! I am writing to tell everyone that it is a requirement in one of my classes to read 90 minutes a week and write a summary of what I have read. I hope you will jump in this awesome journey with me! I absolutely love to read; therefore, this assignment excites me. Let the journey begin.
Being a college student has left me with a very tight schedule that has seemed to take away some of my reading time. It saddens me, but my classes require an abundance amount of text material that has to be read by certain due dates. I read nearly thirty minutes a night from my Bible no matter what and when I have time, I love to read other books that can expand my literature. I love a good challenge!
Last week I focused in on a lot of the Old Testament. Most people skip over the Old Testament because the material can present challenges on multiple levels. It's so exciting to me! I am a firm believer of the Bible and all of the stories it presents.
I read quite a bit out of Genesis and Haggai. Totally random, I know. It had been awhile since I had read Genesis. I find the creation story so interesting. Just the fact that there are two presentations of the creation stories blows my mind. I read about Noah...Abraham...studied multiple covenants...and I started to touch on the sacrificial system.
Also, on a completely different spectrum, I read half of Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. So far, this book is really awesome and it is hard for me to put it down. Brian, a boy whose parents just divorced, was off to spend the summer with his father. He was the only one on the plane besides the pilot. While flying to the destination, the pilot has a heart attack leaving Brian to fight for his own. Brian has to figure out what to do with the plane and how to survive when the plane lands in the water.
Throughout all of this, Brian has a hatchet that basically saves his life multiple times. The last part that I read in the book is that he got attacked by a porcupine. I am still waiting to see if he gets rescued.
