I had some things to say, but I also have a migraine so I will try to keep this short and will maybe write about them later.
The other day, I was walking through the store tent at New Horizon. As I walked along, I was looking at the shelves of books. Not really looking for or at anything in particular, not really wanting to buy anything. One of the books, in particular, caught my eye. It had an interesting cover. I admired the cover for a minute or so and then moved on. I didn't even read the book's title.
That night, I was online and I accidentally came across a blog entry that someone I don't really talk to much anymore (not cause we're on bad terms, just cause it's been a long time) wrote while I was away at Encounter. For some reason it was that person, for some reason it was that blog, for some reason it was that specific entry. That wasn't even the last entry. I couldn't have found it had I tried. But she wrote about freedom. She wrote about trusting in God. She wrote about living for God. She wrote about what Sonship was all about. And then she went on to say that she had been rereading a book and that was what brought up all these thoughts and ideas. The book was called The Irresistible Revolution, by Shane Claiborne. Because I was a bit interested, I looked it up on Google. Coincidentally (no), it was the same book I had looked at earlier that night. So the next day, I went back and bought it.
I have been reading a bit of it today. It's pretty interesting so far, and I think I'm going to update a bit on here if there is anything that I find particularly good.
BUT! The book mentions my starfish story! For some reason, any time I tell people that story, they have never heard it before, but it's in this book! And apparently, it was a story that was made up as an illustration by Mother Theresa, which I didn't realize. But if it was something that she would say, why don't more people know it?
