Living Above The Level Of Mediocrity by Charles R. SwindollMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
Re-read for me. Inspiring book on striving for excellence in our life.
"Those who achieve excellence are faithful in the tedious, monotonous details of life. It is there amidst the blahs of boredom that we rise above the level of mediocrity and soar."
"Dreams can easily appear to others as extreme and illogical. If you share your dreams with the crowd, they'll probably laugh at you because you can't make logical sense out of them." - This quote was encouraging for me as sometimes I wonder what God will do with the dreams that I have. I have a dream/desire to visit Croatia someday and maybe even do a short-term missions trip where I work as a camp counselor at a camp for teenage missionary kids (MKs). This dream seems illogical as I'm not an outdoorsy person plus I'm not very good with kids and teenagers. I feel that I can relate to MKs as I am an MK myself, but overall the dream doesn't make sense. Yet the desire is there and I believe it is a God-given desire. Who knows what may someday come of it.
Pestis 18 by Sharon WebbMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
Awesome, awesome suspense book! Kept me turning pages and I didn't want to put it down. Love books like this, where you just can't wait to find out what happens. Got all mad at my cat Mocha cuz I was only a few pages from the end and she was all wound-up and wanted attention and was getting into mischief trying to get us to play with her. I just wanted to finish my book! LOL!
Terrorists have threatened to release a modified form of plague that is antibiotic-resistant. They have taken hostages on a small island off the coast of Georgia. Page-turning suspense! The writing was great too - descriptive and crisp. It drew me into the story. Highly recommended for suspense fans.
