I’m taking the opportunity of the Thanksgiving holiday to catch up on some reading. Besides my ESV, here’s what I’m working through…

1. The Well by Mark Hall – I wrote a review of Mark’s first book, Your Own Jesus, a while back. This book is just as well-written and convicting.
2. The History of Hell – I saw a recommendation from Pastor Mark Driscoll for this PDF book by Christian History Magazine, so I’ve uploaded it to my Kindle and am giving it a shot.
3. Google Reader – Keeping up with my blog reading.

What are you reading during Thanksgiving week?

Hey #NoCamo readers…

Just wanted to drop a quick note to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. God has been teaching me lately about being content with what He provides. I have been captivated with appreciation for the little things, and am so glad that God has been opening my eyes in this way.

May God bless you all. Consider the things that God provides -even the “little” things- and let us all grow in our appreciation and love for the God of all comfort.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. -2 Corinthians 1:3–5

Life ever feel like a holding pattern? It does to me sometimes. But there are a couple of things I’ve noticed about holding patterns…

1. They ultimately have a purpose. Whether it is a mechanical issue, a problem at the airport, weather, or other factors, the reasons for a plane to be in a holding pattern are for the good of the passengers and everyone in the vicinity. The purpose may not always be readily apparent, though.
2. They end eventually. Passengers on the plane in question have no choice but to wait it out. But one way or another, a plane has to come down. And the holding pattern may be the difference between coming down gently or, um, not so gently.
