reading one book every week
posting every week
using as few words as possible on my posts
For now, here are two thoughts.
"Family Time" - This is the small group my brother attends at Pepperdine. Incredible group. A model for wrestling in prayer and petitioning for each other. An infamous group, frequented by complete strangers but treated as brothers. In an hour's time I felt like I really had missed out on something going to a public(secular school,) yet was encouraged knowing my brother was a part of this group.
I just read Love Beyond Reason by John Ortberg to begin my goal of 52 books in 52 weeks.
I cried at every turn of the page.
I had to put it down several times and collect myself.
I'm quite sure that when I re-read it in the future I won't have the same response. But somehow it was precisely what I needed to hear at this moment. It broke me. Its words compel me. I do wish to pass it on to others, but I can't guarantee it will have the same effect. In any case, I've missed reading and cannot wait to devour much more this year.
