If you want to make God laugh...

"If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." Now this probably wont come out like I think it will because I think better than I speak too, but reading the Poisonwood Bible reminded me of this quote because the Prices made all their plans for the great salvation of the African people only to have everything flipped upside down. I really enjoyed the description of the size of the garden, how Ruth May could hide under the leaves and never get found.

:D

Its an Okapi. One of my favorite animals and was talked about in the very beginning of The Poisonwood Bible

Poisonwood B-i-b-l-e: Yes that's the book we read...

SOOOO I may not be a pastor's kid like Bre Rae but for a long portion of my life I felt like one. (My Grandpa's a pastor and he was super involved in raising and on and on yada yada yada)

But anyways, that's why this book makes me laugh so much. Making fun of "papist" Catholics. Quoting and misquoting Scripture. "Father's blessed Apocrypha which he has a hard time getting other Baptists to go along with" Mother's "pagan appreciation for the Bible" I just love it. It just makes me laugh, some of the things that happen in here kind of remind me in ways of my childhood....or are so starkly different that I just have to laugh!

Long Days...

Well... tomorrow will be fun...
Someone please call me this summer and tell me not to sign up for so much crap next year.

At least PWB is good.

PWB *rant*

I have decided that the only thing I hate about this book is the fact that I can't tell what is really in the bible and what isn't. I'll be reading along and it will reference something from the bible and I'll have to ask my dad if that's really in the bible or not. Ugh. I guess in a way it's good because I have to explore my own knowledge more, but still..couldn't they either choose to copy from the real bible all the way, or make up one? But even so...it's still a pleasant read :)

Poison Wood Bible YAY!
