Happy New Year. 

I am hoping that this year is more fun than last year.  Pretty much anything would be better than last year. 

Well, it has been two weeks since I started my new position with the company.  So far, so good, I guess.  The stress is not nearly as bad as it was with the old position, so I am not going home with the job anymore, but I am not exactly sure that I actually like the new job all that much.  Right now, though, it is a job that puts food on our plates and a roof over our heads, and that is about all.  If might get to be better as time progresses and I get more intuned with the receiving clerk position, but I have a feeling that it will not.  The job is just a job.  Any highschool drop-out could do the job without any trouble.  I sometimes wonder what I am doing working at it.  Not that a college degree automatically entitles me to a high paying job, but I do feel that it should get me more than it has.  But what do I know.

Since my last post I have finished Showdown by Ted Dekker and the Book of Matthew.  I have also read Saint by Ted Dekker, which is a semi-sequel to Showdown, the Book of Mark, and most of Night, by Elie Wiesel.

Sorry I haven't written in a long time.  I have been very busy with work and the family.  My wife started her next to last semester at college, and because it will be her hardest semester to date, at least as far as text book learning goes, she has had to get out of the house to study.  I could use the computer then, but she usually takes it since all of her exams are on-line.  And even when she does leave it at home it is off limits because our daughter needs to use it to play her games on-line.  She is three and can already play the computer by herself.  The computer is set up so that she can get onto her setups only and that one is set up to only go on what she can play on.  But anywho...

Here is my Summer/early Fall reading...I love to read, but I don't get a great deal of time to do it.  I am a slow reader(I read every word to myself in my head), so my amount of reading is hurt even more.  But here it is anyway.
