I have decided to create a separate blog where I pull away from my original one.  That has essentially turned into me listing, and occasionally writing about the books I read.

I want to try and blog more on how to live and what it is like to live a Christian Life in the US, especially in terms of the current socio-political environment.    I am sure I will go of on many different tangents, but, hey, that's what I do!!!

I finished reading:

"The Cross and the Switchblade" written by David Wilkerson.  174 Pages

It's been a long time since I read this book and I found it as inspiring now as I did over twenty years ago.  It has certainly made me think and reflect.  Do I have the same faith and passion that I had then?  Do I have the faith that allowed me to come to the US the first time in 1989, or, quit everything and move here in 1998?  I don't know the answer to that question.  Certainly something to think about and meditate on.

The 34th book of 2011.  11085 pages at an average of 326 pages.
