The other day, we got a notice at the complex that we needed to make room for the parking lot painters. "It is vital that..." I thought to myself, no it is important but not vital. Vital is a matter of life and death. Painting the parking lot is not a matter of life and death.
Then I think it was yesterday--long week-ends always confuse me--Stephanie and I were talking about how humbled I am by God's grace. So many circumstances in my life are going well at this point. I give credit to God for all that is good in my life and do not blame el for all the does not appear to be good at this time.
I picked up Walking the Bible by New York author Bruce Feiler at Barnes & Noble a few weeks back. I am enjoying the book. So here is the quote that ties up lots of things nicely.
What is vital--giving life to my life--is that I see God's hand touching me with grace and peace.

As Martin Buber, the Jewish philosopher said, "What is vital is only that what happened was experienced, while it happened, as the act of God."
What is vital--giving life to my life--is that I see God's hand touching me with grace and peace.

Guess I need to get that book after my delight in Wm. Wangerin's "The Book of God, The Bible as Novel".
