So what have you done in the last week, well I have bought a few books, Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson, It was a great, fantastic to read it is so go to have someone who like and knows his subject really really well. It is beautiful constructed go find a copy enjoy, I did. Then all the way from Canada comes Philip K. Dick: The Preserving Machine and other stories. Why this one I watched the remake of Total Recall. Which did suck. So I wondered how close it was to the original story; We Can Remember it for You Wholesale. It is set on Mars, How cool is that for more then go and find a copy. for yourself. I like Mark A. Noll Jesus Christ and the life of the Mind, read heaps by him and enjoy it. I like his church history work. Looking forward to this one. Also D.A. Carson purchased today as well. Going to enjoy these.
Most of my writing and thinking this week has been a round my sermon for Sunday. But I have also been think through story ideas. Some of which will occur in my daughters work. As someone who doesn't swear I used the phrase " a head full of bat spit" to describe a terrible Australian car driver. She was in fits of laughter, a truly delightful sound and feeling.
Remember dyslexia is a good way to see the world. Have a great day.

One of the things that happens because of how my dyslexia works is some time I type and write slower than I think and sometimes my mind will fill in the gaps, when I have not put a word in but when `I read it back I still see the missing word. Also I think that, no I know that I don't see the mistake either. so It becomes heaps harder to do things, like writing. Still reading has not been a problem, I have always read loads. Comes from having a desire to learn even when the education system in Hertfordshire taught me to not be able to read. I thank my parents for making sure I go extra reading lessons. Still you have to do it everyday. else it does become rusty. So I have now finished reading the first John Carter on Mars story.
What has ben the most telling was watching the blue ray and hearing what must have been Edgar Rice Boroughs say that he started writing because he wanted a slice of that rubbish writing pie. Start today you might get a piece of pie, or more who can tell. As William Goldman says of Hollywood no one knows what will be a hit, Have a good day
