A break, broken

I can't believe it's been over a week since I last posted!
But it is, and I did (or didn't), and it is what it is, so I'm just going to jump back on the horse now and do my best to make up for lost time.
As usual, there is no excuse for my absence, just a middle-aged lethargy and an embarrassing habit for being easily distracted.
Anyway - let us catch up... Do you remember a while ago (with my bad memory I'm not sure if it was last month or back in 2011 or somewhere in between) when I bought those books online about The Bible? When I was revisiting an old obsession and wanting to do a bit of study about The Good Book and its history and its influence? Well, I've actually been reading one of them this week. And very good it is too. It's not a full-on 'God is Good' attempt to convince the reader to convert to some form of religion or other, it's just one man's honest account of his own journey to, and with, God, and how beneficial he has found the whole thing. He talks about stories from The Bible, equates them to his own life, and looks at how they provide good guidance, rather than shoving them at you as the 'you must follow this or else' Word-of-God life laws that some people claim, and others complain about. I'm really getting a benefit from it and I'm seeing the teachings of Christ in a new light. And it helps to pass the time at work when I'm on a break and can't be bothered to do anything else. I've taken to perching on a bench not far away from the car park and enjoying the calm countryside sounds while munching my healthy lunch (or terrible takeaway Meal Deal) and perusing a chapter or two. A month ago it would have been Sunburn Central, but now we're well and truly in Autumn it's really nice to sit there and just be.
