My OperaDon't go breaking my heart...

So guys... After thinking about the whole spiritual thing, I bought a book called 'Word on the Street'. Read this review - It sounds wicked and I can't wait to read it!
Rob Lacey's "dangerously real" retelling of Scripture vividly demonstrates that the Bible is packed full of stories/poems/images that resonate with the big issues of today. This fresh paraphrase with running commentary brings the text alive: Bible stories are retold as mini-blockbusters; psalms as song lyrics; epistles as emails; Revelation as a virtual reality. Out with stale religious terms, here's a "Bible" that talks today's language - gritty, earthy, witty. Enough of starting at Genesis with good intentions but getting lost in Leviticus. Lacey succeeds in revitalizing a classic work by focusing on the big picture: fast-forwards through the "slow-moving" bits with pace, passion and energy to make the Bible a page-turner again.
What's more, Lacey's award-winning tour de force was created during a remarkable personal journey through terminal cancer: the stuff the Bible stories are made of. This life-experience injects Lacey's take on Scripture with authenticity and authority - resonating with Bible characters who also wrestled with the big questions. Purist alert; This is not The Bible (capital B)...but it might just get you reaching for one.
Sounds the business... I can't wait for it!
Anyway, not much has really happened in the love life recently. Jon and I are doing well... I am still not IN love with him, but I do love him very much. Falling IN love again is going to take time I think and generally comes when the other person is showing some kind of love in return. I think it's pretty clear to me that Jon does not love me. But this is not an issue - because, like I said, Love takes time and I am sure we will get to that point once again!
As for Pete... He's head over heals and would move mountains to be with me, but I am just not ready for him! He's not what I want right now. He needs to do a lot of growing up to be with me and that is not going to come overnight. I am confident that I have made the right decision. I have always loved Jon and although I am holding back, I could easily fall in love with him, but I won't allow thing just yet. I need to be sure my heart will not be broken again!
God, it's not even midday yet... Bring on lunch!!!
