And now...to live up to my post title.
Eh...eh...emmm.
Seriously Cool Book 1: THE BIBLE!!!
Last night I wasn't feeling well because I had eaten ice cream that afternoon, which triggered my milk allergy (oh, the price of having fun). As a result, I wasn't able to go to church the next morning. Nevertheless, I felt like I had to honor God on Sunday morning. So I had an extensive Bible time. I read Matthew 23-24, but focused more on chapter 24 because I think there was something God wanted to say to me. Matthew 24 was about the signs of the END OF THE AGE and the COMING OF THE SON OF MAN. In verses 5-12, Jesus tells us the signs of the end of the age. He speaks of people who will say that they are the the Christ. He speaks of wars, famines, earthquakes, hatred, betrayal, false prophets, and the love of many people becoming fake and cold. After reading this, I thought...how different is this picture from the way the world lives now??? Personally, that was a very frightening question for me. Then, in verses 29-31, Jesus talks about the coming of the Son of Man. He says:
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
Lastly, Jesus talks about how no one knows the day and hour of Jesus's coming. We should live our lives as if Jesus is coming back this very moment! Who knows? The angels might blow their trumpets announcing Jesus's return before I finish writing this post!
Seriously Cool Book 2: BRISINGR!!!
WARNING: MAJOR SPOILER...IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS BOOK...STOP RIGHT HERE AND DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER.
I just finished Brisingr this afternoon!!! As I neared the last pages I thought about all that had happened. Katrina was rescued and the Ra'zac are dead! Happiness. Sloan...I won't even go there. Eragon and Saphira are really becoming something now. I was impressed at the tremendous amount of growth in both dragon and Rider. It was also very wise of Eragon to start acting like a man and stop day-dreaming about Arya. Roran and Katrina got married! Yay! Roran is such a courageous guy (despite his crazy battle plans). Orik and Hvedra got married, and Orik is now the new dwarf king! Yay! They're bound to bring some sense into that race of suspicious, cowardly, quarrelsome short-peeps. Brom is Eragon's father??? Ha. I should've guessed. It was so obvious the whole time. Now...the thing about dragon's heart of hearts was just a stroke of pure genius on the part of the author. It's also JUST like Galbatorix to steal the souls of dragons and make them serve him!!! Grrrr!!! Ok, I was like seriously freaking out when the insane magicians were about to bring a new Shade to life. It was nice of Arya to save the day. Glaedr and Oromis are DEAD!!! No!!! It's not fair...but Glaedr will live on :D
Then...I reached the end of book...the end...the very end...and I saw...
HERE ENDS THE THIRD BOOK OF THE INHERITANCE CYCLE. THE STORY WILL CONTINUE AND CONCLUDE IN BOOK FOUR.
I don't know about you guys but...I WASN'T TOLD ABOUT THIS!!! A FOURTH BOOK. Humph. I knew they couldn't end such a fabulous story in 748 pages.
Comments please!
