Oswald...

There is a great, little, powerful book out called My Utmost For His Highest and I really like to read it! It is the writings of a man named Oswald Chambers. This book was compiled by his wife after his death. In fact, if you are looking for another great book, Oswald Chambers' biography called Abandoned To God is a powerful read.

In today's reading, Oswald says this, 'If we try to prove to God how much we love Him, it is a sure sign that we do not love Him.' Wow! Uhhhhhhhhh... That could make your brain spin a few times if you don't watch it. If we try to prove to God how much we love Him, then it's a sure sign that we do not! What does that mean? That seems just a little backwards compared to humans. Personally, Taylor really likes it when I 'show' my love to her by doing whatever ... spending time with her, gifts, touch, kind words, sweet notes, acts of service and the such. Do you know what I mean? Can you relate? I sure can relate to Taylor more so than I can relate to God. I want to know (and SEE) that you love me! I think that I want you to prove it... Yep, I do want you to prove it. If you love me, you will call. Make time for me. Write a letter. Pray for me. That's how I think. Is this the opposite of what Oswald is saying? Food for thought...

I have been in the office since 9:30 this morning and it is time for be to depart! I am heading to Wal-Mart. I am hoping to get them to donate to Young Life this year and help a kid (or 10) go to camp!

We are having an Ice Cream Shindig / Social / Party at our house tonight in celebration of us finishing the Song of Solomon Study last week. What a joy and treat that study was. I mean, how many of us, especially high school kids, know and understand what the Bible says about Love, Sex, Dating and Romance? And the 'kicker' is, is that the Song of Solomon was written 2,000 years ago and it still relevant and useful today. As is the ENTIRE Bible! Word of God.

Looking for another set of novels to read? I would highly recommend these four: The Last Jihad, The Last Days, The Ezekiel Option and The Copper Scroll. They are incredible! Strong! Very Engaging! I think you would love them.

OH SNAP! It looks like there is another book or two out that I was unaware of! I guess I am swinging by the book store on my way to Wally World.

Happy Reading...
