Searching for God Knows What
By Donald Miller

Excitement! Another year comes to an end.  2007 for me was pretty good.

It's interesting that I'm reading this book atm. For me it's a relaxing read. There's humor, there's good stories, and Sen~or Miller makes me think. Thinking isn't always 'relaxing', but when he lays out his argument the way he does, it makes me glad that someone found the words to say what he says.

I'm just 3 chapters into it, so I can't speak for it all, but the main thing I'm getting is the importance of 'relationship'. The whole deal between God and us is, relationship. It reminds me of my Sunday school teacher in the 7th grade. I don't remember if he taught the content well or not, but what he taught with his life was 'relationship'. He loved the Word and he memorized it a bunch. But what he modeled was this authentic relationship with the father. And he wanted that for us. He also did it by working at an authentic relationship with us, the students in his class. I think it's because of him that I do what I do now.

So, relationship. We're working on cleaning the house today because of 'relationships'. In part it's the New Year party coming up, and that's what you do--but it's more about relationships. Have a great New Year with all your peeps, and also with the one that gives us life and wants to be a part of what we're doing. Peace.
