We are rich!

 So I already mentioned that Tim is an inventor, but thanks to his Dad he can do anything with his hands. He already made us one bookshelf last year, but because we are so RICH in books, we needed another one. It's already full, so we are going to need more projects built for us soon. I love that this book shelf is different and creative. He spent a long time figuring out how to get everything just right. I am so NOT like that. I am instant gratification to the extreme. If I had made this. I probably would have used cardboard and tape and it would be a total wreck. Thanks for working so hard to make me happy Tim. 

We are RICH in books. We now have 3 bookshelves FULL of books. That was the number one thing that was hard to get rid of before we moved. Every book I gave away or sold was painful to lose. Our friends and neighbors have NO books. I just saw one neighbor had the Quran in a bag nailed to her wall in her house. But she can't even read it... I think about all the ways these books have helped us. They have taught us great morals and led us into amazing imaginary lands. My kids LOVE to read. Well, Jesse isn't exactly a reader yet...but he will be! Somehow after only being here for 2 years we have more books than we ever had before we left. I love that God gives us great things. Now if only we could inspire our neighbors and friends to want to read and to look for books of their own. We have almost finished the editing of the two children's books we secured the rights to. We should have those printed this summer some time. It's so exciting. But they have to value them still...
