book #9 of 2009

Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith
written by Anne Lamott




i love Anne Lamott! especially her book Operating Instructions. i read this book in between kids and can't believe how accurate her description of that first (awful & wonderful) year of a babies life is. oh and she's funny, i mean really funny! in fact i think i'm due to read it again.

okay but back to the book i just read... Grace (Eventually). While not my favorite Anne Lamott book, still a real page turner. i don't understand Anne and maybe that's why i'm drawn to her. how can someone so progressive be tied to a religion that is so not. she is amazingly frank about life and she just doesn't seem to fit into the box called Christianity. i appreciate her thoughts as i try to sort out my spirituality.

i'd really love to hear a conversation between her & Bill Maher... now that would be interesting!

Yeah, but think about how progressive Jesus was and is! He broke through all the bonds of the religious right of his time! A religion is a religion, Jesus is Jesus. One is imperfect (unfortunately), one is not, but accepts imperfect people! :)

so why be apart of the imperfection?
