    <about><![CDATA[Currently I am a house wife. I was recently accepted to Fuller Seminary. <br/>I am addicted to books, my husband teases me by calling books my mistress. <br/>I sometimes attempt to be crafty (knit, crochet, and sewing), but mostly I have a ton of half done projects. <br/>One of my dreams is to one day travel the world and give the freedom offered in Christ to the oppressed.   ]]></about>

          <body><![CDATA[So far I am enjoying the stories as much as I did the first book. However, now I am now also delighting in finding how Holmes has changed since his &quot;death&quot;. It is interesting to see the change in Conan Doyle's writing and wonder at what has happened in his life to produce such changes in h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6635961">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[I thought I might catch up on the classics so I decided to pick up <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>. I have found it very vulgar so far, but I am reading it in prose. I have read that Chaucer's poetry is amazing, so I think I will attempt to read it in the original format and see if I can appreciate it better t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6635865">more...</a>]]></body>

Funny side note: when we were graduating Ray swore he would never go back to school, but he is already talking about a Master's. I know it is becauses of our wonderful experience at HPU that he is so willing to go back so soon.]]></body>
