The best quote I've read in a long time...

"We're not changed by the promises we make to God, but by the promises He makes to us."

Is that great, or what? It's from the book, "So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore" by Wayne Jacobsen and Dave Coleman (writing as Jake Colsen). I just started reading this, and it's terrific so far.

I have a feeling I'll have more thoughts on this later...

Emily--It is a great quote. I find it really encouraging to remember that God is faithful, and He doesn't wait for me to clean up my act before He'll love me.

The book I mentioned is filled with little gems like that. I'll talk more about it when I finish reading it.

Michelle--Thanks for noticing my literary-ness. It's nice for us, being part of the small percentage of BHS graduates that can actually read. Hopefully, one day Cap will join us...
