Potpourri- 2: a miscellaneous collection: Harry Potter devotion
There is a series of books I have read. Countless times and sometimes out of order, sometimes for fun and sometimes to actually learn something about life, a book about a guy who can do magical things. have a few guesses? well its Harry Potter, and all 7 books together equal 4175 pages. That’s a lot, and I haven’t just gone over than once, I’d say I’m closer to 30,000 pages of Harry Potter no joke. I’ve read it so many times, looked over every minute detail, spent hours on the web looking up stuff and theories. I’ve listened to webcasts, I’ve written papers, given reports, watched all the movies…gone to the midnight opening of one. All for a boy named Harry and what will happen to him next. why don’t I have this devotion to the Bible? I just looked at my little backpack NIV bible, its 964 pages, maybe smaller font and 2 columns but surely it equals 30,000 or less pages of Harry Potter size. why haven’t I read it that many times or more, why don’t I look it up, delve deeper into it, figure out what it really means, wonder what is next in it for me. Learn something about life, read for fun, read about a guy who can perform miracles. could Harry Potter have been an idol for me? I guess so, its done now but I wish it wasn’t, maybe I should pick up my bible instead.
