Some years ago I started trying to read books which were inspirational, faith based or inspired by the Bible to be more accurate! I went through "All will be well" by Julian of Norwich, I tried Joyce Meyer, study of the various books of the bible, daily inspirational readings scuh as Living Faith, several 365 reading books. I find myself picking up Wisdom from the Proverbs reading the day's reading and telling myself that I am preparing myself for Lent and I realise that it is really to have something to write about.

In reality most of the books have stayed unread for a reason, the workbooks and all of the rest stayed unread, unworked.... I was not motivated to read them, could not bring myself to schedule time, effort or energy. These books are still stored on a shelf which is located between a wall and a doorway which is partially incomplete and they have been very good in their current use of preventing someone from falling through the doorway which leads to no where.
I know that the unread books, just like the unfinished doorway represent a whole lot of emotional matters and truth be told, life is for living and having a good day is making me a whole lot happier than trying to be faith based or grounded in the knowledge of the bible which these books are supposed to make me. I may never be devout or deep in knowledge, but I will try to be charitable as I believe in the power of making a difference and in all of those saints whose attainment of sainthood was based on the lives they led.
