During my time in Columbus, this blog will hold a variety of things - probably some sadness from missing my homes, definitely lots of notes on what I've been discovering. It's also going to hold me accountable for a particular, rather silly goal.
I'm going to read 5,002 pages before I finish this internship. Seventeen books. Some are classics I've always meant to read, a couple were thrift store finds, a chunk are required reading either from the university or the church, a philosophy book, a couple worship books I've collected but haven't finished, and even a few more are recommendations from my friends.
I'm posting this not to brag, but to make sure I do it. I love to read almost more than anything else. It feeds my soul,stretches my imagination, and generally makes me a better and happier person. This is for me, for my own benefit and growth, and I think I need it. This experience in Columbus is going to drain me in a lot of ways, and by making space in my life to read, I'll be taking care of myself.
I'll post a little snippet after I finish each book, most likely. If you'd like to see what I'm reading, I'm going to attach my reading list to the bottom of this post. I'd love to talk with any of you about any of these when I'm done.
Wish me luck!
