And you have shared many things about yourself here.<br /><br />You stopped my heart with Brennan Manning, though.<br /><br />If we could sit over a cup of coffee, I'd tell you stories of how I've been a Christian for almost 20 years (even a "pastor's wife," which in some circles means a "professional Christian") and have not understood grace until reading him THIS year. <br /><br />I find myself in some very interesting places with this new-found message of grace. Places where I raise a lot of eyebrows. And scare those tight-twisted buns right off the heads of the "righteous".<br /><br />Pouring all this out here in your comment box, I guess, because I feel I might have made a connection with someone else who has worked the grace through a bit more . . . ? Thanks for your post.<br /><br />And thanks for reading my very personal comment. :)Kelli Woodfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00693942264588745151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911909193911121656.post-45334874589272036842012-07-17T17:29:00.645-07:002012-07-17T17:29:00.645-07:00What a wonderful glimpse!

James Mitchner took me to far away, exotic lands. John Bunyan used allegory to teach me truth, God's love, grace and forgiveness, but it started with Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. I was 8, maybe 10 years old when I learned that books could change my life..today, I enjoy biographies, memoirs and other life lessons as learned, and shared, by others. I don't have enough to to make ALL the mistakes! <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
