What are we reading…

cbc-on-line_2049_56467707Brian is currently reading a book by Joseph Stowell called: Why it’s hard to love Jesus. I am finding this to be a great and very challenging book especially considering the question of what is my motivation for wanting to know, love, follow Christ…? “Genuine love for Christ is always a response to His extreme grace extended to us.”

Why It’s Hard To Love Jesus takes a close look at the story in Luke 7 describing Simon the Pharisee and a sinful woman who anoints Jesus with expensive oil. When we’re confronted with the reality of Jesus, do we remain indifferent and religious like Simon the Pharisee or do we fall at His feet in adoring worship like the woman who had been forgiven much? Joseph Stowell challenges Christians to honestly probe the answer to this penetrating question.

I guess you will not be too surpized to know what Miriam is reading…

What to Expect when You’re Expecting is an excellent book and Brian especially is learning A LOT… It is becoming a regular routine now that Miriam will explain to Brian (usually at night just before we go to sleep) in detail how the baby is developing at every stage of the devlopment process. Brian is learning about strange concepts like: “Sympathy Symptoms” which he finds very strange and difficult to understand… Please pray for understanding from Brian and patience for Miriam… :-)

Wow, what a wonderful and unique experience… Over the years serving with OM Ships we have heard many people who have visited the Faroe Islands before share about how special it was and now we finally got to experience it for ourselves… AND they were right !!!

We had an incredible time meeting many wonderful people, enjoying the breathtaking scenery and making friends. God has obviously blessed this small nation and is using it to be a blessing and a shining light to the world.
