		<description>Since it is October 6th, I think I can definitively say that I will not finish this reading list in 2009. But, I don&#039;t have a reason that I HAVE to finish it, so it&#039;s really just a guide. 

I started The Soul of Baseball by Joe Posnanski on Friday and finished it today: Great book! I highly recommend that to any baseball lover. I wish there were more stories from and about Buck O&#039;Neil. Someday soon I hope to go to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City.

I had checked-out the Tyndale book once more but because I didn&#039;t realize you couldn&#039;t re-check a book more than once I had to return it to the library. It&#039;s a great book and I intend to finish it at some point in the near future. I&#039;ll just have to go back to the library to check it out (when I can find it on the shelf, according to the librarian).

I&#039;ve read a little here and there from Augustine&#039;s Confessions. I may seek out a more modern translation to finish the work.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve completed Clemente by David Maraniss.  Great book! I&#039;ve also read two of the Chronicles of Narnia: The Last Battle and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  I know that I read them out of order, but I read them nonetheless.  Both were quite good and I think the Voyage of the Dawn Treader has to be one of the best kids stories ever written.  I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I&#039;ve re-checked William Tyndale: A Biography by David Daniell from the local library and am planning on finishing it this time before returning.  

Also in progress: Confessions (slowly, small pieces at a time) and The Ragamuffin Gospel (a re-read (4th, perhaps?)).</description>

		<description>I appreciate this post!  So often the devil wants to 9literally, in your case!) derail our plans for good and godly improvement.  Stay with your WW---I really believe it is a great tool for living a longer healthier life.

Don&#039;t let the accident slow you down or make you skittish on your bike, either--just chalk it up to the law of chance---i.e. if you ride, you&#039;re GOING to have falls----not IF but WHEN---- so you&#039;ve already had yours for this time period, now you&#039;re good to go!

Enjoyed your post over at Gary&#039;s!</description>

		<description>Sara, 

Thank you for adding this information.  I did not know this and though the name similarity could be circumstantial, it&#039;s possible that it was used purposefully.  Thank you for adding your comments to our discussion.</description>

		<description>This is a dangerous book....Sophia is a goddess(demon) who has been recycled throughout the ages and has gone by the name Lillith, Astarte, Isis, Athena...she is also worshipped by gnostics.  In all of my web searching of blogs in regards to this book, no one mentions this...I don&#039;t think people know.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m learning something about Quantum Mechanics. Reality only comes after it is observed. Physics proves that everything is waves until it is observed. God made us in his own image, with a free will, however, we are a finite beings, living in a finite world, for a finite time. Believing is our choice. God says, I have set before you Life and death, choose life and live (Deuteronomy 30:19).</description>

		<description>We&#039;re now into May - I read &quot;Raising a Modern Day Night&quot; by Robert Lewis - incredible book!  A must-read for any dad of a son.  We MUST turn our boys into men - society needs a good dose of authentic manhood.</description>
