You are blessed to be part of such a great family! Talk about them all you want - not everyone can do that. You were adorable!

This makes me miss my thankful posts! I'm still keeping a list, but I seriously ran out of songs! ;) I love that you've been making a list when you're in a funk. I know it helped me SO much to focus more on the blessings in my life than the bad stuff.

Great review. This book is a game-changer for those who need
help setting boundaries in their life. Some of us try to hard to control
others; others of us allow ourselves to be manipulated, even bullied. This book
addresses both these dysfunctions but offers real life examples of how to
change. There’s a helpful article on how to break free of relational
enmeshment, based on the insights of the book, at http://www.scribd.com/4gran...

Me too. Creator God = incredible and worthy of worship. No matter how He chose to do it.

I saw this at Barnes and Noble the other day and almost picked it up - think I'll go the library route now, just to be safe.

Agree!! There are many more important things than evolution stuff...I grew up in that church too. Way too legalistic for little ol' me!

Sounds like an interesting book. Right now I am reading "Life, Love, and a Polar Bear Tattoo" it was free for the kindle and I'm a sucker for free. It's a pretty good book for a frivilous book :)
The last serious book I read was "Live Organic"...made me realize that I need to buy more organic foods and cleaners!

I love how you are totally honest with your reviews. I probably would have the same issues that you did with it. I can't afford to go out of town let alone a trip overseas so it would probably just tick me off:)

for me, it is so much the opposite of what i am (what i am being incredibly uptight, and not willing to admit that my way isn't the only & correct way to live), i did find parts of it difficult. those same parts, however, were crying out to be more like him.

i'm sure an in-person meet up was fantabulous. my favorite part of the book? that he listed his personal phone number in the back. "call me sometime" and i got the impression from his stories that he actually meant it.

he's a lawyer, so i suppose it depends on your definition of wealthy. i'm trying hard not to be judgmental - i wish i could be more by-the-seat-of-my-pants. i'm just not wired that way and wonder if my wiring, not his writing, caused me to have moments of the book i didn't enjoy.

I'm biased on Team Bob Goff. I've met him in person and hearing his stories from his mouth and not just in print is an experience to be treasured. Maybe it's the lawyer affinity in me, but he has such a vivacity that you don't often see in this profession. His embrace of whimsy doesn't seem real, but it is. As someone who desperately needs to tilt more to his side of the scale than the uptight side I currently inhabit, I appreciate it.

Is he wealthy? How do you afford overseas trps on a whim?
Thanks for the review. I will probably skip this one.

i imagine myself, legal pad in hand, for the Dino Q&A. :P although i have a feeling you may be on to something with the "cease wanting to know..." thing. bummer.

Re: God spoke…

The dinosaur thing has always thrown me for a loop! I have so many questions I want to ask God when I meet him face to face. I wonder if he'll have time for Q&A or if we'll just know everything, or if we'll cease wanting to know things we didn't understand on earth.

I so agree, there is no point in arguing over the little things. They really have nothing to do with what's most important. I believe that God sent his son to die on the cross so I could be forgiven and spend eternity with Him. That's good enough for me!

Re: God spoke…

Allison — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 17:14:28 -0000

I am right there with you. I don't want to argue about the small stuff at all. I think some people churches and even denominations et too caught up in the details. And lose focus on the big picture of salvation.

Re: God spoke…

Amy — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 15:33:36 -0000

"I just don’t want to get so caught up on arguing the little points, we miss the big ones. Jesus. His love. His salvation." I agree 100%! It's so sad to see Christians angrily debate topics like science & creation, free will/predestination, etc...He wants us to be united, not divided over these types of issues. My faith has definitely evolved as well. I think if it hasn't evolved, we aren't growing. And I've been through long periods without growth. Not good. I'll have to go check out Marla's blog!

Great perspective. Truly, truly. What a good way to set the tone for a reading like this. I chucked at "
the-Bible-is-100%-literal-except-the-part-where-Jesus-drank-wine" L-O-L!!

Oh goodness. This is some good good stuff here, girl. Nodding my head (up and down, not side to side) at each and every point. And I especially love that you're not going to storm out of heaven if you find out you were wrong. ;)
