What I'm Not Reading!


Lori and the ladies over at Leading and Loving It just answered a Q&A on books they are reading right now. HAHA, that is the wrong question to ask this girl. I recently finished "Going All the Way: Preparing for a Marriage That Goes the Distance" by Craig Groeschel. Right after that I picked up "The Monkey and the Fish: Liquid Leadership for a Third-Culture Church" by Dave Gibbons. The problem is that I have about 20 other books stacked up beside my bed that have started reading that are now collecting dust. Not to mention about 5 more in a basket in my bathroom! The easier question for me should be what am I not reading. The answer...my bible! Honestly I love books and I could read them all day long (and sometimes do). Like many Christians I want to read my bible more but for some reason I let it sit on my coffee table, in the car (sometimes even in the office at church)! Why do we find it so hard to pick up God's word? Maybe because we might learn something we have been trying to avoid! Like all of the the things we should be doing in his name as opposed to our own agenda. Rest is good for the body, but God's word feeds the soul! Time to feast less at other people's table and more often at the feet of my savior!

That's a good word right there, my friend!

Great word! The small group my husband and I lead decided to just read through the book of Philippians rather than read a book about the Bible. It is already proving to be life-changing!
