Well, thanks to Dave I've begun reading, Under the Unpredictable Plant, by Eugene Peterson. Already (30pgs in) it has sparked a thought about something I first learned, and continue to learn over and over again in marriage, which is that the sooner I'm honest with myself and the other person in the relationship, the sooner healing, reconciliation, resolution, etc. can occur. Lately, I've been applying that principle more and more to my relationship with God and the religion that so often follows. I'm thankful for the example of biblical writers who were painfully honest with themselves & God and for writers like Peterson, Kimball & McLaren who give me permission to be more honest with myself, God, and others around me.
