WELCOME! ( It is now a week or more since I wrote and thought I had posted this. But I stumbled upon it in my draft box. ??? Oh to be technically capable! So- now rather than never- here you have it…)

I am finding my mind drifting often by things I read in the books I mentioned, so decided to include the titles here again in my first blog.

Hope some of you read them and find them to be better than soaking in a spa!

(By the way, I’ve been told that you can download the books by Wayne Jacobsen off his website.)

I just finished listening to a ‘video’ of Wayne Jacobsen that I think you might enjoy. My friend, Jackie, sent me the link this morning. It’s on www.lifestream.org. – called Sharing the Father’s Affection.
What a refreshing way to end my day! With the God I am getting to know… in contrast to the ‘one’ that I was introduced to at boarding school as a child!

Some books that I have read/ am reading/ am pondering are
The Shack- by William Young. A refreshing entrance into the incomprehensible relationship with our Immanuel and the other two Persons of the Threesome.

So You Don’t Want to Go To Church Anymore- by Wayne Jacobsen. It resonated with my desire to relate with our God rather than to live out ‘rules and expectations’ that we so often are guided by in our ‘christian’ world.

He Loves Me- by Wayne Jacobsen. Yep! He does. And circumstances are not the determining factor of proof! Wayne does a great job of leading us to grasping the reality of God’s love – not based on our interpretations of life circumstances or how much we are living in the ‘favor factor’ of God. You’ll have to read it to ’see’.

All from here and now.
See you there
