Well it took all day yesterday, but finally they released me to come home. It felt great to be home and to sleep in my own bed. I've got a bunch of medication to take, and that's still taking a toll on my digestive system.
Soli Deo Gloria!

Great Reads
Elizabeth M. Adler: Living with Lymphoma: A Patient's Guide
Excellent book that covers everything you need to know about lymphoma. Highly recommended. (*****)Victor Hanson: A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War
This is a wonderfully readable history of the Peloponnesion War by Victor Davis Hanson. Definitely for the history buff. He explicates the war chronologically, but also covering its major themes. The chapter titles give you a hint of his unique insights: "Fear", "Fire", "Disease", "Terror", "Armor", "Walls", "Horses", "Ships", "Climax", "Ruin?". If you love ancient history, then this is a must read. (*****)Marcus Luttrell: Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10
Probably the best book to come out of the Iraq and Afghan wars. Incredible tale of wartime survival and a unique look at what it takes to produce the warriors of the Seal teams. Riveting and easy read, hard to put down once you start. (****)Abigail Adams: My Dearest Friend: Letters of Abigail and John Adams
Highly recommended. Using the letters between Abigail and John it gives a unique perspective on the relationship these two had, and into the personality of one of our founding fathers. (*****)Joseph J. Ellis: Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation
Fascinating history that explores the relationships and personalities of the Revolutionary Generation of the Founding Fathers. (*****)David McCullough: John Adams
Excellent biography of one of our country's most important Founding Father. Very readable. (*****)Robert L. Heilbroner: The Worldly Philosophers : The Lives, Times And Ideas Of The Great Economic Thinkers
Very readable introduction to the most influential economic thinkers. Non-christian in worldview though. (*****)James Fenimore Cooper: The Last of the Mohicans (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&N Classics Mass Market)
Great classic American novel. Action packed story that takes place during the French & Indian War. (*****)John Milton: Paradise Lost (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&N Classics Trade Paper)
The great epic poem by John Milton. Best read aloud. (*****)Tommy Franks: American Soldier
Excellent book by one of the most important generals of the 21st century. (*****)David Rozelle: Back in Action : An American Soldier's Story of Courage, Faith and Fortitude
Inspiring story of a soldier and his dedication to duty, honor and country. I little "over the top" in spots, it is nontheless a good read. (***)JOHN DONNE: The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose of John Donne (Modern Library Classics)
Great poems and prose from the master Jacobean poet.Gene Edward, Jr. Veith: Postmodern Times: A Christian Guide to Contemporary Thought and Culture (Turning Point Christian Worldview)
You MUST read this if you want to understand postmodernism and it's impact on our culture. (*****)John Bunyan: Pilgrim's Progress (Penguin Classics)
