I Am In Southern California...

The place that I would choose to call home. I have hit all of my old stomping grounds, and everything feels wonderfully familiar, fresh, and green. During my trek around town I stopped at a Christian bookstore to browse the selections. I do not live near a Christian bookstore, so this was a treat for me. I began to browse and check out this entity which I used to frequent. The same authors were being promoted. I had to search for those who are now my favorites, and after circling the store a couple of times I finally found them.

There were four books that I have had on my "books to read" list, and I had them all in my hands trying to decide which one to purchase with what little money I had left. Then an epiphany came to me. What new information would I garner from these books? Would I be asked to challenge myself or were these ones that would just stroke my ego and reinforce what I already think, thereby validating my ideas? I decided the latter, and so I happily walked out of the store without the books and walked into the sunlight.
