I didn’t just sit around and read. And I didn’t announce how many books I was going to read ahead of time. I took even more books that I didn’t get to read. I had planned simply to read however many I got around to. I only blogged about the reading portion of the vacation in order to guard our family’s privacy. I did a lot of other things, and hope you do, too, on family vacations! Thanks for the voiced concerns.

So often people fail to understand the diversity and extent of the Spirit’s gifts. Take reading for example. Some assume that Mark must have neglected his family in order to have read so much…

But such a sentiment ignores the role of the Spirit in our lives, particularly in the area of giftedness.
