Because I read a lot, most of the time I have three or four books going at one time. I keep them in different locations so when I get a minute, I can sit down and read. The story lines are usually different enough that I don't confuse them when reading that many at once.
How many of you are avid readers? Don't you hate finishing a really good book? When the story is intriguing or really interesting, you just want it to continue. Of course, I guess that's why many authors,... like Karen Kingsbury, Lori Wick, Jeanette Oaks, Terri Blackstock and others write sequels.

Books are rather like life. If your life has been good, you don't want it to end; you want someone to write a sequel. If, like some books, you get to the middle chapter and life isn't going well or interesting enough, you would just as soon close with that chapter.
God has blessed my life with good chapters. As I came to three-quarters of a century mark, I began to wish I could go back to chapter one and start to "reread"my life with no rewrites. However, the God I know didn't create us to be reincarnated; to come back and live life again. If we don't get it right the first time, there are no do overs. So, it behooves us to live every day; enjoy as much of life as we possible can and leave behind footprints worthy of being followed by others.
When the chapters of our lives come to a close, we will begin our sequel in eternity. If we are believers in God; have asked forgiveness for our sins and followed Him, when He opens the Book of Life, our name will be found there and we will continue our sequel in Heaven.
"Then those who feared the Lord spoke often to one another, and the Lord listened to them. And the names of those who worshiped the Lord and honored Him were written down before Him in a Book to be remembered. " Malachi 3:16 (NLV)
