Hopefully not a long post today. I just came back from house group, which has just started a study based around John Ortberg's book, 'Everybody's Normal Until You Get To Know Them', a book I picked up several years ago because I liked the title, read two pages of, and then, as I usually do with even the best non-fiction books, got bored of because it didn't have a story in it. It's a good book, though, and covers the two themes that have been bugging me recently, those of personal vulnerability and proper community.
More of that tomorrow. On another positive note, I have noticed a marked improvement in two areas of my life. Firstly, I am learning to put towels back on the peg in the bathroom, and not anywhere I happen to take them off. My last attempt made it to the radiator, and I was even congratulated by PeterBell, who said the execution was a bit sloppy (being scrunched up on top of another towel that was already on there) but that it was a marked improvement on the last one, which I left on a pillow.
The other positive is that when jobhunting, having a rubbish job is far more of an incentive than being jobless.

I'm like you. I have to have a story in my book to keep me enthralled. The last non-fiction I read was a book about the war in the pacific. It was pretty good. Take care and will stop by tomorrow to see what you write again.
Sincerely,
Andrew
I loved that book, and I, too, have a difficult time with nonfiction!
