Thoughts from the fictional characters Dan Poole and Neil Edward Oliver (THE LAST WORD AND THE WORD AFTER THAT - p.68):
"We have to tell people the good news... the good news that God is even better than we thought, that the gospel is better than we realized. That their thoughts of God have been too small, too unworthy... that the truly good news is bigger and better and more powerful than the conventional news they've been believing and preaching."
"No thought of God that you can ever have is too good. Nothing about God is too good to be true. You are safe when your thoughts of God grow greater. Don't be afraid."
"Don't be afraid." I have to admit, sometimes I'm afraid my ideas about grace are too good to be true. And what if they're not... Hmm.
Good thoughts in this chapter. I needed good thoughts. I decided to try something different for lunch today. I tried to make tomato soup, and I think I ruined two pans in the process. :( Did you know you can't put those plastic microwave pans on the stovetop? Mmm, burningn plastic. Gosh it stinks! My wife is way smarter than I ever realized; and way too good to me (I love you, dear).
Peace. Revolution.

I love reading your blog - not as much as I love you - but I love reading it. It brings a smile, it sometimes brings lumps to my throat.
Your burning plastic day was like my grinding up thermometer day. I'm just glad we share the days...
