Hello! So we have had quite the busy schedule lately. For starters, and he might kill me for telling you all this, but Troyce had an MRI and an EEG on his brain. He has anger issues and when he becomes manic he sometimes blacks out. They wanted to eliminate seizure activity. I lost three pounds in one week! I feel great and my clothes are starting to fit better. Dawson recently started at a daycare facility. Lastly, I am working on my bible. I need to get back into the groove and study the bible more. I used to know it like the back of my hand, but now I'm lost. I need to become familiar again. After all, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
