Stop putting God in a religious box. (read all 3 entries…)
Blue Like Jazz 6 months ago

If you have not read Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller, you really should. This book is the best thing that has happened to my spirituality in a long time. It was one of those experiences that as I read I kept thinking “That’s how I feel, but I never knew how to put it into words before.”

Jesus is a relationship, not a checklist. And that makes God infinitley more difficult to deal with, but so much more rewarding and fulfilling. And Jesus is not a gun-wielding Republican from Texas. Nor is He a liberal pot smoking activist. Jesus is so much bigger than what Christianity has made Him into.

I’m not going to check it off yet, but I feel so amazing right now. God is bigger than you think.

Jane and I 9 months ago

I read Pride and Prejudice on my own in high school and once for class and loved it. I’m about 100 pages into Emma. Hopefully by this time next year I’ll have read all of them!

#43 The End! 13 months ago

From The Shop Around the Corner:

Alfred Kralik: Are you disappointed?
Klara Novak (Miss Novak): Psychologically, I’m very confused… But personally, I don’t feel bad at all.

And this “thing” is done. It took longer than I thought, but it was a good exercise.
