So I know, I've fallen right off the bandwagon with this whole posting-the-scriptures-I'm-reading thing. I actually haven't stopped reading them -- on the contrary, I'm reading more than ever, including scriptures/spiritual or uplifting or inspirational ET CETERA readings from:
Paulo Coehlo's The Alchemist,
Dan Savage (syndicated sex advice columnist) on love, relationships and building a meaningful, compassionate, honest, autonomous identity for yourself independent from a partner (whether you have one at the time or not),
Cormac McCarthy's The Road (I picked this up in the staff room at work two days ago and didn't get up again until I finished it four hours later ... oh such a fine, crafted author McCarthy is),
Jared Diamond's The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee
David Cruise & Alison Griffiths' Vancouver - an historical fiction novel spanning some 20,000-ish years of NW Coast history.
"Eating Christmas in the Kalahari" by Richard B. Lee (which I really should post for you here in a minute, it's a great true short story),
An amazing horoscope my friend read me today (okay, I will look that one up for you and post it, it was very meaningful) ... hang on ...
So, I've been having some great insights thanks to this project, which after all was focused on getting me to read more scriptures and not necessarily to blog about them, which started as a side project. And YES, all of those things DO count as scriptural readings, INCLUDING Dan Savage; it's my "scripture project" and if it can include Robert Frost it can include whomever I please and am inspired by :)
