A Few Good Things

I always hate posting when there is a picture at the top of the screen because then the picture is not the first thing you see. :(

There are a couple of things that I have helped me understand Heaven more. Both I have read/listened to either on the plane to take Noah home or on our way to Myrtle Beach last weekend. I want to share them with you. Hopefully, they will encourage you and help you to understand a place that is beyond earthly words.

First, is the book called "The Shack" by William P. Young. You must know that I am not a reader. I'd much rather be scrapbooking. :) But, this book came recommended to me and I could not put it down. In fact, on the plane to take Noah home, he was apparently bored that I was reading so much. He said, "Mrs. Frazier, the 'fasten seat belt' sign is on and that means you can't read." ;)The book is fiction. It is about grief - more specifically about a father and daughter. It gives great insight to Heaven and the love of God, and why He allows us to suffer. You can get it at the Christian Book Store, Sam's Club, Wal-mart, etc. You will cry your way through it and think of 10 people you could pass it along to.

Second, is a series of sermons from one of Terry's friend's church, Skyline Church Rancho San Diego. Here is the link: http://www.skylinechurch.org/index.php Over to the left you see "sermons", click on that and find the 5 part series called, "If I die before I wake". I downloaded them on my Ipod (is that the best invention, ever?) and listened to them last weekend. The first one is especially great. He gives lots of scripture reference and encourages you to look them up so that you can share his message with others. I am going to listen to them again because there is a lot of information.

So, that is the end of my book/sermon club. If you got others, let me know!
