Crossroads Church Blog Thingy

Truth that transforms... or at least makes you think...

Welcome to the Crossroads Church blog.  I started this blog as I'm reading through the Bible and wanted a forum to discuss topics/passages that struck my interest or may have intrigued others.

I've also added categories for leadership and general church stuff.

If you are new to blogs, you don't have to leave your name for others to see.  You have to leave an email for the blogmaster, but a pseudonym is cool for others to see.  Don't worry about making mistakes!  Be creative, jump in. respond to an entry or email me to suggest a new topic.

peace,

I've always been a reader, although there have been times when my reading load has lightened up.  The past four to five months have been light.  I'm not sure if I was just a little tired of reading or simply had other priorities.  However, in the past couple weeks, I've jumped back in and love it again.  I confess that part of the motivation was organizing my bookshelf and realizing how many books I had bought and not read.  Yikes...

I'm finding again how much reading stimulates by imagination, increases my knowledge and challenges me to consider other points of view.  My current reading list includes a daily reading of selected C.S. Lewis works, The Upside of Adversity, They're Gentiles for Christ's Sake and Boards That Make a Difference.  It a nice diverse group and all interesting to one degree or another.

Anyone else read anything interesting lately???

      In the warmer months, I usually have about 3 or 4 books going simultaneously. Right now I'm just getting ready to start reading again after a hiatus of several months. I just got a 2 copies of "Sit, Walk, Stand" by Watchman Nee. It is an amazingly simple and yet profound book based on Ephesians. The 2nd copy is to give away. Anyone interested? (It's only about 100 pages).

      Winter is historically a non-reading time for me. During warm winter months I can have up to 4 books going at a time. I just bought "Sit, Walk, Stand" by Watchman Nee. It is a short (100 pages or so) and richly wonderful book based on the teachings of Paul to the Ephesians. I read it about 15 yrs ago, and my poor sick mind (and the Hopy Spirit, I believe) tells me that it's time to read it again. I keep looking at it, but haven't picked it up yet.

      I have about 4 books going right now - Papa Prayer and Simple Church are the ones I am enjoying the most. But then on the other side I am reading gardening magazines - articles about all sorts of plants - and dreaming about summer. Occasionally, I throw in another John Grisham just to lighten things up. But I think I'll try Doug's Sit, Walk, Stand - thanks Doug.
