Moving into the next chapter

Sorry if my title is a bit confusing. No, I'm not making any major life altering announcements. I'm still down here in Mexico. I'm still trying to speak as much Spanish as possible. I'm still learning how to cook(I'll tell you more on Saturday). I'm still I love with Bri. I'm still taking lots of pills for Lymes Disease. I'm still putting my pants on one leg at a time.

The next chapter I'm talking about is that I've finished Dynamics of Faith. Paul Tillich has way too much packed into his huge brain. I'd say it was very similar to me trying to listen to Stu Weber on a 100 degree day. HAHA. Just kidding Stu. I just don't understand the words you use sometime. But I finished the book. It was very hard and I can't believe I still have all brains; for the last week I thought my brains melting away. I'd say I have a grasp of the surface layer of what the Dynamics of Faith is, but I have not mastered it in anyway. It's a very difficult book to read. I don't know why Bri put that in my suggested reading for this trip but I appreciated the challenge.

So I've started my next book and I wanted to let you in on what it is. Just to see if anyone wanted to joy in the fun. It's John Pipers Future Grace. I've got a good vibe from this book and I don't think it will have the same sensation as Paul Tillich. John suggested in the preface to read it over a 31 day span because it has 31 chapters but I might end up doing in in 2 or 3 weeks. You more then welcome to join me and Comment on the blog if you've read it or are reading it.

This is an appology to friends and family who have been keeping up with the blog. I realize my editing skills are lacking and my writing isn't always as graceful as it could be. I get distracted very easily and rabbit trails abound. But mainly I want to appologies for my bad proof reading. In my head I read exactly what I thought I written not what I actually written on the screen. So sorry, I haven't gotten everything edited extremely well in the last couple post. Bri helped me last night and repaired my posts. So now they may read just a little better. Sorry again you may just have to grid you way through the rough spots or just wait until Bri can help me proof read. Be sure to thank Bri if you had to rack you brain trying to understand my poorly written post. Thanks babe for helping and helping everyone get a clearer picture of my trip.
