SweetSurrender

I just finished reading The Shack. Normally I don't like fiction, but this is an exceptional read. It is one of those books that you can't put down and it makes you laugh, cry, and want to start it all over again. It holds so much truth in it. I think everyone should give a try. Next is finally the one I have been looking for for awhile called Absolute Surrender. So far, it is simply wonderful and rich. I love to read! Sweets

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I'm still in Seminary. Those are the required readings for this semester.

I also have 3 or 4 books that I would "LIIKE" to read, but I'll have to wait for some "Spare Time." (If there is such a thing.)

Well, I'd like to be able to provide a list of profound Christian works that I'm into, but alas. On my bedside table I've got two bibles, King James. The Acts of King Arthur by Steinbeck, two Tom Swift books by Victor Appleton, a Rick Brant Adventure by John Blaine, two Sci-fi short story collections, Mr. Midshipman Easy by Captain Marryat, the Marketing of Evil by David Kupelian. Also the collected short stories of Katherine Mansfield and Bleak House by Dickens. It will take me over a year to finish these, some may not be finished, and in that time others will be added of course, that's the way I read, little bits at a time, from various sources.

Long gone are the days when I could sit down and knock off a novel in day. The very thought of it seems like sin, now.

Spare time - isn't that an oxymoron?

Christ has given my brothers and sisters so much this last 2 millenia it would seem like a sin to me to ignore it.

When I went into the ministry, I thought we only had to work one day a week.
