1.Go to the 4th folder in your computer where you store your pictures.
2.Pick the 4th picture in that folder.
3.Explain the picture.
4.Tag 4 people to do the same.
Okay, so I cheated slightly. My organization system is folders within folders, etc. So I'm picking one because it forces me to make a book recommendation I meant to do over two months ago. Here's the pic first off:
Pete and I went to see Glenn Beck's "The Christmas Sweater" on my birthday (the tickets were bought for his and used on mine. The Christmas Sweater was based on the book written by Glenn Beck. Here's the excerpr from the book:
"If You Could Change Your Life by Reversing Your Biggest Regrets, Sorrows and Mistakes...Would You?
#1 New York Times bestselling author and renowned radio and television host Glenn Beck delivers an instant holiday classic about boyhood memories, wrenching life lessons, and the true meaning of the gifts we give to one another in love.
We weren't wealthy, we weren't poor -- we just were. We never wanted for anything, except maybe more time together....
When Eddie was twelve years old, all he wanted for Christmas was a bike. Although his life had gotten harder -- and money tighter -- since his father died and the family bakery closed...Eddie dreamed that somehow his mother would find a way to have his dream bike gleaming beside their modest Christmas tree that magical morning.
What he got from her instead was a sweater. "A stupid, handmade, ugly sweater" that young Eddie left in a crumpled ball in the corner of his room.
Scarred deeply by the realization that kids don't always get what they want, and too young to understand that he already owned life's most valuable treasures, that Christmas morning was the beginning of Eddie's dark and painful journey on the road to manhood. It will take wrestling with himself, his faith, and his family -- and the guidance of a mysterious neighbor named Russell -- to help Eddie find his path through the storm clouds of life and finally see the real significance of that simple gift his mother had crafted by hand with love in her heart.
Based on a deeply personal true story, The Christmas Sweater is a warm and poignant tale of family, faith and forgiveness that offers us a glimpse of our own lives -- while also making us question if we really know what's most important in them. "
I can't say enough about this book. I'd give it a five star rating. Its poignant, and really makes you stop and think. I saw the play before I got to finish the book. (I think I finished it on the way home). I can't put it into words what I felt about this book other than if you get a chance to read this it, please do. It really is a great story.
Okay, so if you want to play along, please feel free. I won't tag anyone, but I'd love to see some great pics and hear stories. We all don't share enough of them
