She was reading Piercing the Darkness [Piercing the Darkness, which was published in 1988, is a sequel to Frank E. Peretti's novel This Present Darkness. It shows contemporary views on angels, demons, prayer and the spiritual realm. Piercing the Darkness won the ECPA Gold Medallion Book Award for best fiction in 1990. The book, along with This Present Darkness, has been instrumental in promoting belief among Christians in Territorial Spirits. They have also increased an interest spiritual warfare.] when I arrived home after a grueling day of IT work, scoring worship songs, and working crossword puzzles. I watched an episode of "Chuck" while Laura read. I realize the show is silly, but I really enjoy it! I made a festive dinner of pan-seared New York strip steaks and sautéed mushrooms, red bell pepper, and zucchini. We went abed early. I awoke at 4 AM, feeling that I had enjoyed all the sleep due me. I collected the links for today's blog post, read various online news resources, and enjoyed another episode of "Chuck." Did I mention that I really enjoy that show?
Correction I was mistaken, apparently. Laura is currently reading This Present Darkness.
