Well, it's done!! I finished the book I was reading, “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years” by Donald Miller. I have to say that I am rather impressed with myself. I can't recall a time when it took me less than a week to read a book. Of course there are the kids books that I read almost daily to my son, but those don't count. I am talking about a book with 200 or more pages.
I am the slowest read I know and still slower than the ones I don't. I get distracted very easily and find myself reading over what I have all ready read just to get back to the place where I got distracted. In college I only finished one book in the entire two and a half years and it was only 150 pages long and it still took me five weeks to get it done. The amazing thing is that I still graduated with a 3.4 GPA. It was the book from my first college class. I am proud to say that this book that I just finished was 259 pages long.
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years is a very easy read if you were wondering. It was a story about finding story in the story you are living. That's a lot of story.
Oops, my son is waking up from his nap.
I was just so inspired by Miller's stories of world travel, meeting new people, and biking across the country, that I simply had a hard time putting it down. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of reading this wonderful book to do it. Live in the story that Donald Miller is telling, or better yet, read the book and get involved in your own story. Oh, don't just take my word for it, find out for yourself.
Before I started reading this book I read the back cover, you know, to get a feel for what the book is about. I also read the note about the author and I almost didn't read the book. Donald Miller serves on President Barack Obama's task force on Fatherhood and Healthy Families. I consider myself a conservative and had to get over myself to read this book. Who knew God could use a Democrat to introduce people to a larger story?!?! I am kidding of course. I have a number of family and friends who voted for President Obama and I love each one of them very much. It really doesn't matter who any of us votes for that matters, it's about how we all work together to make the country better, no matter who wins the election.
This really isn't an political blog I promise. That was one of my more distracted moments. It could be my A.D.D. or the fact that I am watching the movie “Groundhogs Day” as I write this. Anyway, I love Donald Miller's writing and I would encourage anyone to read any and all of his amazing books.
