This week I continued to read Ben Hur. It has many cool descriptions of things that I like when I'm not half asleep. At this point the plot is still developing, but it is still interesting.

Ben Hur!
This week I began to read the book Ben Hur which I got at a book sale last year for twenty-five cents! I decided to read a classic just to see if i would like it or not. So far, I really like it and think its it very interesting and clever.

Flying Wafer
Communion wafer went flying into Christmas tree
during church service
While members were taking communion on New Year’s Eve at Faith Lutheran Church, a communion wafer was seen spinning through the air and flying into a nearby Christmas tree.
“I just wanted to change the way I ate my wafer,” Hannah Schermerhorn said, “but I didn’t know that the result would be a bouncing biscuit!”
Apparently Hannah normally receives the wafer with her left hand, and then takes it and puts it into her mouth with her right hand. But this time, she received it with her right hand, put it into her left hand, and then took it back with her right hand to put it in her mouth. It is suspected that while she was bringing the wafer up with her right hand it chipped off of a nail on her left nail which caused the wafer to fly through the air.
Few members of Faith Lutheran Church actually witnessed this event. Maggie Schermerhorn, who was standing next to Hannah burst out laughing when the incident happened, and Chris Schermerhorn began to cry. When asked about their contradictory reactions Maggie could give no answer because she was laughing too hard, but Chris said, “Like all loving mothers I have extreme agony over seeing my daughter cry, which is what I thought she was doing, but it turns out she was just laughing.”
After returning to the pews, the girls tried not to look at one another, but their bodies were still shaking from trying to contain their laughter. Eventually they settled down and were able to continue participating in the worship service.
The communion wafer has not yet been recovered, but it is only a matter of time before it will be.

The Centurion's Wife
This week I read The Centurion's Wife, and it was excellent. It's basically about two people working for the Roman government trying to find out what the deal-y-o with Jesus is. It was very interesting and made me wonder if I lived during Jesus' time what would I do? I normally need everything proven to me so I feel like if i saw Jesus perform a miracle I would believe, but if i just heard a bunch of people saying that a guy rose from the dead I would probably think that they were on drugs. The book was 378 pages long.

Scoop III
Whoot! I finished Scoop today! It was not very good. It had funny little lines in it but otherwise it didn't really hold any suspense for me. It was 336 pages.
