Hey Big T, my book did not come with an instruction manual but here is some advice:

Start at Page One.

Read the words from left to right and then move to the next line and move from the left to right. Once you have completed that then turn your eyes to the page on the right (this will be page two) and repeat the process. Once you have finished that, then move your hand to the back of page two and slowly turn it. You will then have in front of you pages three and four. Repeat the process until you have come to the end of the book.

I wish you well on your journey, Big T. If you have any further questions I am available.

Good. That's all we need is a sobbing, blubbering , teary-eyed BigT on city-data!




P.S. If he's asking for kleenex after chapter 2, you know you've gotta problem.

Oh, now this ^ is precious! It just warms June's heart to think of the atheist assisting the believer in reading a Christian-based book. June will pass the tissues.

I do what I can.

How does that old saying go?

"Take a child fishing and you can feed him for a day. Teach a child to fish and you can feed him for life."

1. I'm halfway through the belly of the beast.
2. I would have been further along but I was reading upside down in the beginning. Thanks for the heads up troop!
3. I did have some foriegn object in my eyes approximately 32 months ago when ToddlerT was born. I'm sure it was dust
4. Its an interesting read so far. Honestly the thought of what happened to Missy so affected my continued reading that Macks initial feelings still resonated with me for the first half of the book. I couldn't unwrap my head around what I would feel like (and still can't).
5. Yes I know that by my admission in point number 4 I'm missing a main point of the book.. so I feel like by writing I know I'm missing a main point of the book.. I'm getting a main point of the book.

That is all for now. Hope to finish it up tomorrow and I'll give some more comments then

Well Troop, I hate to bring this up, but as someone who works in a printing and publishing company, may I point out this rather unimportant yet at the same time quite meaningful point..

Open the book.. start at page one, which will be on the RIGHT (always!) Move eyes as stated. Once you have reached the bottom, you will have to turn the page to get to page 2. If you simply turn your eyes to the right of page one, who knows what you will see (cup of coffee? bag of cheetos? newest edition of the Creation magazine? ).. but it certainly won't be page 2. For that, you will need to turn the page, trust me! You will then have pages 2 and 3 in front of you, and following that will be pages 4 and 5, and so on.

(Wow, I feel pretty good.. a publisher teaching something to an aircraft mechanic, lol! And go right ahead, check it out!)
