a book

 I'm reading a book that has been around for awhile. Life with God by Richard J. Foster.  pg. 7
"The Bible is all about human life "with God."  It is about how God has made this "with" life possible and will bring it to pass. In fact Immanuel, meaning "God is with us," is the title given to the one and only Redeemer because it refers to God's everlasting intent for human life - namely, that we should be in every aspect a dwelling place of God."
 My thoughts are: how, when, why, where? Could I be a hindrance, a help? Who is He and who is He making me into?
 These are some of my questions and some of my questions are being addressed in this book.

Are they being answered? No, not completely. But this writing is giving me an opportunity to look at my questions and discover what others have come to conclusion about how do we invest in the life that is with us.
I'm enjoying the book. I have many more I am reading - but this one I want to finish in the next day or so. I had begun it and lost it at the doctor's office.  I am thrilled I got another one. Love books that I can mark all up.
