Thoughts to ponder!

"May you know that God loves you just the way you are, not the way you should be."

Brennan Manning

"The purpose of prayer is not to get what we want, but to become what God wants".

Author unknown

"Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see it is what you would have wanted had you known."

Garrison Keillor

"We must be willing to forget the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us."

Joseph campbell

Here's what I'm reading...

My Grandfather's Son by Clarence Thomas (2/10)
What a fasinating life! I am only about 1/3 of the way through but it is a great story so far.

Loving God by Charles Colson (10/09)
This is an old favorite. Since reading this maybe 15-20 years ago I have read most of his books. If you haven't read God of Stones and Spiders you should!

When God Breaks Your Heart by Ed Underwood

The Grand Weaver: How God Shapes us Through the Events of Our Lives by Ravi Zacharias (6/09)

Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns (5/09)

Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen (4/09)

Can Man Live Without God? by Ravi Zacharias (4/09)
Not a light, nor easy read. It's very seminaryish, and I have to have everything quiet so I can keep up with him. And yes, it's another repeat. It couldn't be more appropriate for our time.

Grief by C.S. Lewis (4/09)
I have read quotes from this but have never read through the book, so here it goes! (Okay, not what I was expecting. I don't know if I'll get through it. New book...

Finding God by Larry Crabb (4/09)
Okay this is the third book in a row that I am reading for a second time. This one may be the third. So much for my retention, but they are all excellent and have been a great replacement to my t.v. time.

Authentic Christianity by Ray Stedman (3/09) It's been many years since I first read this. It's a great book.

Ruthless Trust by Brennan Manning (3/09)

So many 'thoughts to ponder'!
