    The Love Dare

    I’d like to share another sort of journey with you.  Wes bought me The Love Dare book.  And so, I thought it would be sort of neat to share observations along the way as I go on the journey through the Love Dare book.    I’ve read the preface, introduction and Day 1.  Tomorrow I’ll write about “Day 1 – Love is Patient” and I will entitle each blog entry with the day and the heading.  I know I won’t be able to communicate all that happens on this journey and will likely not share specifics – but I’d like…

    O, how great our God.

    We watched a terrific dvd last night — I hope we’ll watch it over again tonight — it was that great! It’s How Great Is Our God with Louie Giglio teaching/preaching.  In addition to the mind boggling information about the size of the universe, he talks about the intricacy and complexity of the human body and then ends his presentation describing the marvel of the cell adhesion protein molecule “laminin.” Laminin is what holds us together — it’s the “glue” that holds our cells together. I don’t know whether it’s his infectious enthusiasm or the shear volume of information, but…
