Is it proper to spend your time going to such things as miracle classes? "Hey I'm playing basketball after work, what are you doing?" "Oh-I'm going to miracle class"... silence. What does one say to such a thing? Well, if I were the first guy I would definitely say (even if I didn't believe it) "Could you get a miracle for me too?" Just in case- Pascal's wager and all that. Obviously that is why I am the second person.
Reading is definitely a proper thing to do though. Just think of all the proper people you have heard about who read books- right?? I've been reading quite a bit lately so surely I am on the right path now, even if my dalliances with magic take up quite a lot of my time and spellbooks sit next to Dostoyevsky on my bookshelf. Even better than reading a book MUST be to write one. So many people are writing books you almost feel left out not giving it a shot. At least I know my mother feels that way. She constantly rings me to ask me why I haven't written a novel yet. I reply that I have NEVER said I had any intention of writing a novel and have no comprehension of why she asks me this. I ask her why she hasn't yet become a Kung-Fu master.
