Thankful for today

Today I'm particularly grateful for God's kindness in dealing with my church family. Sickness has been hitting families like crazy - a few weeks ago half the congregation (the half with kids I suspect - I wasn't there either) were absent from service either b/c they were sick or their family members were. Thankfully people have been recovering nicely, and I even saw church members today that I haven't seen in about a month. I'm glad things are getting back to normal, I've missed these people!

Worldliness & Respectable Sins

I got Respectable Sins with a gift card from Christmas. I purposefully didn't read it all in one sitting...or even in one week...like I normally do. I'd heard wonderful things about it and wanted to take my time in it. I am glad I did. Some parts were more challenging/ convicting than others for me, but I got something out of each and every chapter. I don't know that Jerry Bridges said anything I hadn't already heard, but somehow I feel like I was more apt to receive it as I've been becoming more aware of my tendency to tolerate certain sins in my life. This coupled with my church walking through C.J. Mahaney's book, Worldliness , has brought on even more self examination in light of Biblical standards - and that is a great thing. Now that I'm done with that, what should I read?
