This is something I've struggled with for a long time, waiting to see it all come together in God's time. Very conceptual....

I don't know if I can call it "reading", but I'm just starting to decifer a few words in context and expanding my greek vocabulary.

"Joining Jesus on his mission doesn't require us to know more than we already do but to do more with what we already know."

Is there something in my life I'm holding back? What would it feel like to be all in? Does God merely give me joy, or will He be my joy?

Seems to take place after death with a grey city. Why are dead people still trying to get to heaven? Why are they not judged? The conversion process continuing after death is not biblical. Direct reference to purgatory on page 35.

"Be patient. Personal spiritual growth is never rapid. Maturity (including your own) comes over the course of years. Remember how patient God has been with you."

"Today is already the tomorrow which the bad economist yesterday urged us to ignore."

Learning to combat perfectionism.

"the best boss is the one who bosses least. Whether it's cattle, or horses, or men; the least government is the best government."

about half way there

Figuring out where I want to go, what goals I want to accomplish...check that...where does God want me to go? What's my motive, self or service?

Now working through the 31 day devotional at the end of this book.
