Green

Green,The Beginning & the End, Circle Series #0

Travis read Ted Dekker's book Green. Here is his review. I found this book to be a good read but not on par with the first (last) three. It does bring the Thomas Hunter thing full circle. I did identify with the doubts of the Circle and was convicted when reading about Samuel. I was rather disappointed with the ending. In case you have read Red, White, and Black by Ted Dekker this is either book zero or book four. If you would like to read this book go to cbd. This is a review for BookSneeze."

Favorite Verses

for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. Philippians 4:11
Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. He brings princes to naught and reducers the rulers of this world to nothing. No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff. To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal? says the Holy One. Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one them is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob and complain, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God"? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired and weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary , and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:21-31
All Scripture is is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. IITimothy 3:16,17
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. II Timothy 2:15

What we want to be

So tonight at supper Deborah told us she wanted to be a witch when she grew up. She is pretty excited about the job prospects in that field. Broom riding being the best.

But that got everyone sharing their dreams. Here they are, as we sat at the table:

Beatrice,

Deborah said, "maybe she would be a teacher, too".

Nati thought that being an actress would be fine. I had thought he was aiming to be a comedian for some time now as he thinks he is quite funny! (also I am pretty sure he meant actor :)

Harrison, "a soldier."

Gregory, "A drummer, well a guy that plays lots of music but doesn't sing, like a trumpeter."

Margaret dreams of being a caregiver.
