Per the Lumpkin's blog and the McNary's blog, here is a little activity:
"Here are the rules:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next four sentences on your blog, along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that 'cool' or 'intellectual' book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest!"
Like I've got time to dig . . . however, I do really like the book that I am using, and it truly was the closest (except for the phonebook); it was sitting on my printer.
Sorry it is nothing as spiritual as Dallas Willard, D/S Mcnary!
From The Giver by Lois Lowry:
"They hugged one another.
"The small child went and sat on the lap of the old woman, and she rocked him and rubbed her cheek against his.
"Jonas opened his eyes and lay contentedly on the bed, still luxuriating in the warm and comforting memory. It had all been there, all the things he had learned to treasure."

AMY!! The Giver is such a good book.
Weird like Artificial Inteligence: AI (that movie with Haley Joel Ozment). Allie read it first and then made Dianne and I read it. What a great book!
So, does he make it out alive?
You know I like flowery endings and am an optimist - I believe that he did not die, but that the house he finds at the end is real, with real people, and that it is at the edge of the world of control in which he grew up. I believe that at the end, he and Gabriel are safe. What do you think? BTW, I LOVE that movie AI.
from A Testament to Freedom by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"This way is the enemy of pride, whether it is wrapped in the purple robe or the crown of martydom is set upon it. The church gazes always only at the humbled Christ, whether it itself is exalted or made low.
It is not good when the church is anxious to praise itself too readily for its humble state. Equally, it is not good for it to boast of its power and its influence too soon."
ok, so I am not good at reading instructions...skipped the part where it said to post on MY blog and not yours..
