My literary profile

     Being born and raised as a "pk", my bedtime stories were very different than others. The earliest story that I can recall would have to be a bible story my sister told me. For some odd reason she decided to tell me the story about King Herod (Acts 12:23). Basically, King Herod would not give praise to God, so an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he Herod was eaten alive by worms. I know, it's pretty scary that my twelve year old sister would tell a six year old a bedtime story about someone being eaten alive by worms. A person would think that a six year old little girl would be afraid of that, but I loved it, and I asked her to tell me that story every night for about a year. 
      Currently I am not reading a book, well I was but I'm not quite sure what the name is. Although that may sound strange, I do read my devotional book every single day. I understand that it is so easy to say, that the bible or some kind of other Christian book is so easy to mention, but when it comes down to it my NIV bible and devotional has truly changed the way I look at everything in my life. So, no it's not Shakespeare, but these two books have been the most influential items in my life.
       "Reading is fundamental" used to get on my nerves as a kid who never liked to read, but I now know that reading can broaden a person's knowledge on various things. Without literature people would walk around speaking nonsense, while over a million others would be out of a job. The only way that literature wouldn't be important is when someone is taking a shower or something. Other than that I believe that literature is used everywhere from street signs, to food labels, and even for the caption on the television.
