Assorted Thoughts
Quick one for today as I start my sprint to the end of the school year (as PTO Treasurer) and therefore the end of my 3 years in that role…(and I must admit, I’m starting to run hard towards the end of THAT particular tunnel)…

Check out some of the new items I’ve shared from others in the sidebar - of note is the profile of Donald Miller by Christianity Today, and the thoughts on “Authenticity” over at Relevant. The profile on Miller captures how popular he has become as sales of his books, particularly Blue Like Jazz, continue to grow mainly due to word of mouth.
Similarly, the article over at Relevant asks the question whether we have made “authenticity” simply a new item in the checklist of what one must be or do to be a Christian - falling into the trap of whether we are truly being honest with each other about the darkness in our own lives. It is easy to give lip service without truly exposing our hearts.
Both these articles are convicting, and I think we need to think about how God might speak to us about the traps of religiosity that we can easily fall into…I know it happens to me.
Have a good day!

Stumbled on your blog through Joe Carters, btw, if you like Donald Miller, you may want to pick up “Divine Nobodies” by Jim Palmer (not the pitcher :-) )
I just finished it, and it was awesome.
