The Grass is Greener in California

I'm back in California. And the grass is really greener here. It was obvious to me when I arrived. I was standing in front of the house and marveling at how neon green the grass was. Now I have gotten used to it and it isn't that bright anymore. I haven't written an update on my readings in a while. But I just finished Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana, a novel by Anne Rice. It covers the time in Jesus' life just before he began his public ministry. It is a great description of what might have been going on for him at that time.
