-Cooking is such a waste. Whenever I make "real" food I don't want to eat it, even if it tastes good.
- I have been feeling that prayer in a way is kind of crippling. When I am not regularly praying, I don't feel content, and very unspirit filled. Yet when I start praying more reguarly, I am led to pray more and more. During the waiting times I become more desperate to see God move, which results in me still I still end up being uncontent until prayers are resolved.
-I have been reading The Wars by Timothy Findley. It is really good, though there were two and a half parts that are not Christian Kosher.
-I love seeing people lead Spiritual Conversations for the first time. I always become so proud of them.

I find my perfectionism can get the better of me when "younger" people lead out in spiritual conversations.
In my mind, I'm often thinking "no! that's not what you should say" or "if only you had said...".
But I am learning grace, that people who trained me probably felt the same way but were incredibly patient with me while I learned.
What's the book about?
It is about the life of a young man before and in WWI. It is histographic? It is like you are discovering him through archives, interviews. You will get a long bit of narrative, and then the author will throw in war statistics, which really shakes you up- you aren't suppose to read it and feel it is simply a story (despite being a fiction). Apparently the descriptions of what the war zones look like are as if the author was there first hand (he did a lot of research at the archives while writing it). However, there is one fairly sketch scene at the beginning of the book at a brothel and near the end the main character is raped (I talked to a girl this week who said reading that portion caused her to never take another English course). I think the reason why I like the novel so much are the family dynamics, which are not the focus of the story, but are really intriguing.
P.S. Do you still live on this side of town on weekends? I want to have a birthday lunch at Cora’s soon.
