I have decided that I need to read more. I enjoy reading occaisionally, but I'm not really one of those individuals that have an innate passion for reading (A couple of my friends in Tahlequah come to mind). But I know it is a habit that I need to make time for. In a recent conversation on the subject, my friend Jason Fullerton said,

"Reading is fundamental."

Inspiring, right? Therefore, in an attempt to better myself, I set a goal for myself for the semester. I am going to read at least 7 books this semester. I know this really isn't an impressive goal, but it will at least motivate me to do something I halfway intended to do.

[These are the books I'm starting out with. The bottom one is actually three, and I won't count the top one since it is so short.]

I've also been staying consistent with my Bible-reading plan, which is something I have struggled with in the past (mainly because I didn't have a plan, I suppose). The iPod Bible app is incredibly handy. So between these two things and reading for school (wonderful things like finance and statistics), I should be getting somewhere.

That's all I've got for today.
