Breaking the Streak and Reading a Book

I stopped two ongoing streaks this past weekend -- I didn't play Wordle on Saturday or Sunday, and I didn't read on my Kindle app yesterday (Sunday). My consecutive days reading (on the app) ended at 593.
Now we'll see if I go back to playing and reading (on the app) every day or a little less frequently.

Currently, I am reading an actual paper and ink book. I am usually reading more than one book at a time - generally a fiction and a non-fiction. This is a non-fiction religious study book that I bought several months ago but just haven't read yet. I'm now about 1/4 of the way into it and I am enjoying the history and foundation that is being laid for what is to come.
It's N. T. Wright's The Day the Revolution Began: Reconsidering the Meaning of Jesus's Crucifixion.

The book fits well into the way my own re-reading of the bible has been shaping my evolving view of heaven and hell and the way I see my relationship with God, Jesus, and the spiritual world. Wright gives the reasons why my thoughts make sense to me. 
If you are a follower of Jesus but have always (or often) struggled with the loving God that punishes by eternal damnation, you would benefit from this book.
Or maybe you see yourself as a spiritual person that loves the teachings of Jesus but can't see following a religion that uses the threat of hell as a motivation for drawing (or trapping) people into it. I think that perhaps you might learn there is more to God than what religion has created.

The sun is shining and my yard is calling for attention. I'm going to water the 67 bulbs that I planted in my compassrose/sundial flower garden and mow the yard portion of our property (about an acre, with a push mower). No problem getting my steps in today!
Then I'll be back here sitting on the deck this afternoon with a cigar and something other than coffee to drink.
Retirement does not suck.
I am loving spring!
