This week I read two books that made me wonder about my relationship to God and my faith. One book was from the perspective of someone who was in heaven and watching those she left behind. I thought the book was a good read and got me to wonder what my heaven would be like. I don’t have a particular place that I enjoy, or a particular thing that I like doing. What is going to be waiting for me if I should get to go to heaven? The second book I liked better. Even though it was a work of fiction, or at least fictionalized, it explored how God interacts with his children. The book showed God as three individuals, which I recognized as the holy trinity. It really caused me to wonder and explore what it means to love someone and how I treat other people. Am I making the time to listen to my friends and acquaintances? Am I judging people unfairly? Am I forgiving when I should? Am I talking and or listening to God enough? Am I putting to much confidence in man made institutions to guide my life? I really liked the second book and am going to have to read it again when I finish my Bible reading. It had a really good message behind the story.
My list of questions turned out pretty well also. I didn’t get anything thrown at me, and there seemed to be plenty of concurrence with the answers I gave.
I also have some movies to review this week. The haunted airman was pretty well awful and I am not sure how it ended up on my queue now. The ending managed to make even less sense than the plot of the movie. I also watched Smart People this week and thought it was okay. I was expecting it to be funnier and it wasn’t really funny in any direction that I enjoyed. It was slow and maybe could have been some dry humor, but I really just didn’t enjoy it.

and also, 265 post now, only 100 from my goal. I don't know if I have a hundred days left to completet my goal, but that doesn't really matter. My posting has slowed some, but I guess maybe life is to good right now to get on a soapbox and sound off about things everyday.
