good stuff that

"It's a far, far better thing that I do now then I have done before, it's a far, far better place that I go now than I have ever been."
Do you know what book that's from? It's one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors, that happens a lot actually. I've always wanted to make a book of favorite quotes and verses. Than you leave it to your kids and it is a legacy of yours passions and your life. A nice sentiment anywho...I am reading a few books right now all of which are very good but none that make me want to go without eating and sleeping until I finish them. That's how it was with the LOTR series and the Harry Potter books. I used to be so against the HP books but I love them now, however as an aspiring teacher I would never recommend them for under like 5th or 6th grade. They are too impressionable for a book about witches and wizards, I however, feel that I am past the stage of wanting to become whatever seems coolest at the time that I read about it. Of course, with the Bible, you should read it and model after it's heroes for the most part. I have been studying Elisha's life and sometimes I feel that he was somewhat overlooked on the recent well-known biblical heroes list. There's the apostles, moses, david, JOhn the bapt,then several women, etc but he isn't as well known. Elijah maybe, but not EliSHA. Pity. What an amazing guy, God worked through him in such powerful ways. I don't mean just witnessing, but he was used to do some incredible miracles. Read 2 Kings and you'll see what I mean.
I really like the name Joshua. It has a lot of power in it and I love Bible names period. I also love the name Emma, but have I said that already? Oh well, I do. And Anna and Hannah and Abigail and Rebecca and Luke and David. I read a lot into someones name because have you ever noticed that it tends to form a person's personality. I mean, a lot of times a person's name just fits them..or doesn't. Like it I was named Themulsah, I think I would be an outcast who learned how to cook crazy greek foods and grow cedar trees or something because it's just a weird name. I dunno. Maybe that's a totally "whack" theory because my middle name is Grace and I have never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever been at all graceful. I don't mind my name though, even if I din't I wouldn't change it!
