I'm Just Throwing this Out for Discussion

Anyone who would like to comment would be welcome. Do any of you find yourselves to be too critical, discerning, whatever you want to call it, to the point of running in circles? I'm thinking particularly in the area of spiritual growth. What pastors do you listen to regularly? What authors do you read? Are there any points of their individual stances where you differ? How do you reconcile those differences?

I'll wait a while for some input before commenting on what brought this up.

Thanks!

Thank you, Mrs. Vines for Introducing Us.

Madeleine L'Engle, the award winning author of 60 books, most notably the Newberry Award-winning "A Wrinkle in Time" passed away on Thursday. She was 88.
I met her, figuratively of course, in the sixth grade through my teacher Bonnie Vines. Nearly 25 years later I remember what I learned and lived in her class. Through books like "A Wrinkle in Time", "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and "My Side of the Mountain" Mrs. Vines taught me the importance of faith, courage, loyalty and friendship in life. She didn't teach these virtues because a curriculum told her to, she taught them because she believed in them. Now retired, she established a folk school outside of my hometown where she can integrate academics, ethics and life skills in ways mainstream educators have long forgotten.

God bless you Bonnie.
