Will do, Little Bro.

find a copy of of "wild at heart" by John Eldredge and read it before you make any final decisions.
I am talking to you as one man to another.

Towards the end of the book, he talks about a quote from author Gil Bailie

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

We sometimes confuse what we are called to do with what we *think* we are called to do because we are told it's the "right and proper" thing to do.

Thanks Jamie! I see what you mean

 

[FarmerJamie]

The book is written by a pastor, and was referred to me by a pastor friend. Please do spend the time to read it. I wish an older man would have understood this and mentored me on it when I was your age. Would have saved me a lot a grief and heartbreak.

Available via PM if you want to discuss offline.

I'll look for it, and read it. I need all the guidance I can get. Thank ya PaTater!

What is everyone reading/studying in their Bibles now? I'm in Ecclesiastes (I know it is a favorite of your's Tater)

 

[Denim Deb]

I'm reading thru the Bible, but haven't figured out what I want to study for now. (I try to read thru it every year)

 

[BarredBuff]

I am trying to read through mine for the first time. When I accomplish that, I am going to study specific topics with my Thompson Chain Reference Bible.

 

[Denim Deb]

Reading thru the Bible is a great way to get more familiar w/it-especially if you write cross references down. It seems like every time I read it, I find something new.

Bad, sad day in our little hometown. A family that has had too much tragedy and loss in the last year has been burdened again when a young man took his life this morning. Please pray for this family.

Will do!
