Deep Thoughts by me...well, sort of, okay, not really
I was reading this book my dad let me borrow (against his better judgment, i'm sure, as he knows it will come back to him a little less than perfect. thanks, dad!) and i had an "a ha" moment this morning about why it's so hard sometimes to accept God's grace, which he gives free of charge. here's a quote from Robert Farrar Capon:
"b/c we will look only at our own ugliness and not at Jesus' gracious, transforming beauty, we keep ourselves from the one thing that can save us-that has in fact saved us, even though we will not trust it."
just thought that was beautiful and wanted to share.

Bobiah,
Would you please underline that part for me in the book? Don't want to miss that.

Love,
