Enabling is Wonderful
Thanks to Darryl at DashHouse.com for posting this insightful post and quote from Spurgeon:

Justification for my reading addiction

Commenting on 2 Timothy 4:13 ("When you come, bring...my scrolls, especially the parchments"), Spurgeon said:

Even an apostle must read. He is inspired and yet he wants books. He has seen the Lord and yet he wants books...He has been caught up in the third heaven, and he had heard things which it is unlawful for a man to utter, yet he wants books. He had written a major part of the New Testament and yet he wants books.
I love reading. I have been given a hard time because I will sit and read cereal boxes at breakfast. Reading is one of the best and most exciting hobbies there is. I can read on the Internet for hours. Yet there is nothing like a book. Praise God for books!

Note: There are some new books added to my reading list. Will catch up on some of those posts in the next week.
