Reading:



The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller.  Excellent explanation of the work God did and does for us, as illustrated in the parable of the "Prodigal Son."  The chapter that got to me is the one in which he compares the laying down of Christ's life to that of an elder brother paying the cost of my profligate lifestyle.  What real brother would give up even half of his inheritance to enable my life, support my place in the household?

YOU have to come to Charlotte for our next Book Club on that book.
It will be my second read. Catch more things that way!

Well...I'm glad to know who Kermit and Electra are! Why didn't you tell me??? I could have been seeing this for a long time--maybe you told me at one time. Sorry. I'm finally used to blogs! Love your format and pictures.
