Thank you, Mr. Grisham (via Apprentice2Jesus)

Completely agree with Dan's assessment of where Grisham has gone. I haven't read The Confession yet and now I can look forward to it!

Thank you, Mr. Grisham I am a HUGE John Grisham fan. I got hooked with The Firm, and have stayed a fan for 20 plus years. The past few years have been disappointing. I personally think his publishing schedule needs to slow down. He's big enough to tell his publisher to go take a hike and give him a couple of years on a novel rather than crank one out every year. The past few books have drifted. It was like Grisham didn't know what he wanted to write. The Broker and The … Read More

    Let me know what you think. His latest isn't as strong as his first stuff, but it by FAR better than the past few years.

    I will! I've got it on Amazon trying to decide on the hardback or kindle. There was a day, I preordered Grisham's books because I so looked forward to reading them. Haven't done that in a while.

    I'm starting chapter 17 - I'd be finished but not for school and school, but so far, it's been a very good read. Much more in line with his older books.

Five TV Shows I Enjoy

I don't watch TV exactly, but I do have shows line up in my HULU queue, so I do watch those at my convenience. M erlin - this is a sci-fi channel show. I've been an Merlin fan since I was a kid and read The Once and Future King. Merlin and Arthur are both young men in this one. Lie to Me - I love Tim Roth's sassy character and the way he always gets the best of someone by psychoanalyzing them. Fringe - Another sci-fi show, but on ABC. It's just weird at times. Dual universes. Reminds me a bit of Sliders, but much darker and ominous. Characters have developed nicely. Always some very odd twist. FlashForward - I like this one enough I wanna buy the book to see how they compare/contrast. World changing event happens where everyone sees a glimpse of  their futures for the same time period. FBI is trying to find out why and how it happened - how to keep it from happening again. Lots of intrigue. mmmmm that's only 4 DollHouse - didn't make it. This show

Changing denominations

A little over a year ago, when I left my job at the church and walked away to find a new one, I also left my church. The church, that church, the old church? For 17 years, it had been my church and then it was not. Ron and I had taught more classes than I can remember - together and apart. We worked with discipleship, new members and of course, the library. The boys spent their teenage years there and were in countless programs, went to numerous camps as campers and then as counselors. They went on mission trips and made their first international trips with this church. But the time had come to go. We had different jobs and Ron continued teaching Sunday School until the year ended. I didn't go anywhere in that time period. It was in many ways a time of healing. A few people knew why I wasn't there. I'd see other people out and about and they'd mention that they hadn't seen me at church in a while. One of the problems in going to a really big church with multiple ser
