"Truth doesn't need a verse attatched to it to be true." -John Eldredge
We love the heroes of our favorite stories only because they are making the characteristics of Jesus come alive to us. God is reaching out to us...the deepest part of our hearts has got to be engaged and listening!

I'm so glad to be reading Christian lit again! I've already been challenged just in these last 2 days! Waking the Dead by John Eldredge is really good so far, I forgot how much I enjoy his writing style. And, reading Watch for the Light by the light of the Christmas tree every night has been awesome. It's a compilation of a bunch of Christian stud's sermons and compostitions for the Advent season. It's studs like them, who seem to be way more intelligent than me, that help me in times of doubt. I've never been "the smart one" but if these guys who know so much still believe in Jesus, then surely there is something real going on here. I don't know what my deal is, but ever since I was a little kid satan has thrown these "what if it's all just a story" thoughts into my head. I've learned to not dwell on them because I know The Bible is 100% inspired by God and absolutely true, but having knowledge of my other religious options has opened the door a bit wider for satan...So, I'm thankful for the studs who have gone before me.
