Hello KAREN,

Thank you for this post, and for me it was not too long at all. I very much enjoy your posts and your writing ability is a gift that gives to us all. Please continue to do so because you do keep us inspired and feed and edify our souls.

You were very blessed to have such a wonderful childhood full of fond memories where you were able to enjoy these experiences at your grandmother's house. Reading what you wrote took me there and I starting thinking how nice it would be to live somewhere in the country. To be able to sit outside on a warm evening to look up at the amazing night's sky full of stars and the fireflies lighting up all around me. With all the pleasant outdoor smells and the relaxed stress-free environment. That would be wonderful if this could happen someday!

Thank you for your recommendation of the author you mentioned. Is there any particular book by this author that is a favorite of yours?

I like the idea of a thread where we can write about movies and books to uplift us. Unlike you, I do find it hard to find good movies to watch on Netflix and Amazon Prime. Since coming to Christ I've found that my taste has changed quite a bit and that I no longer enjoy watching what I used to (I still like Lord of the Rings though and doubt that that'll ever change!) But for me it's a rarity that I actually find a good quality movie that has substance and isn't full of violence, sexual conduct, and obscene language. It's very disturbing the number of times a movie has the actors speaking the Lord's name in vain and I cringe when I hear it. Jesus died for our sins and we say His name as an expression of exasperation or as an expletive, very sad.

Two good movies that I recommend:
Noble and Lion. Both are based on true stories of their lives. Noble is the story of Christina Noble who was led to go to Viet Nam later in her life to help the children there. It's an INCREDIBLE story! And one that shows how God can affect so many lives through one person. I highly recommend this one. Lion is about a boy from India who gets lost and tells about his amazing journey. This one is another amazing story about hope and will totally wrench your heart out in the end. Also it shows the real guy after the movie is over and the pictures of him and his family.

I'm currently reading a book called Nine O'Clock In The Morning by Dennis J Bennett. It's about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. So far I really like it but am only a little more than half way through. I'm usually very guarded about reading books that I perceive are going to teach the wrong message, especially that of the prosperity gospel like many other false teachers, however so far I'm not seeing anything to be concerned about. Nevertheless, I would prefer to read it to the end before I can recommend it to anyone. Mere Christinanity is good one by C.S. Lewis, but very deep and needs to be read a few times to really grasp everything. In it he says that Pride is the ultimate anti-God state of mind. I also like books by Timothy Keller. He’s written books like “The Reason for God”, “Walking with God through Pain and Suffering” (I should probably reread this one), and several others that I want to read like “The freedom of Self-Forgetfulness”.

Like THOMAS and many of you, looking at nature and God’s creation is something that lifts my spirit. For some time now butterfllies have really impressed me, so much so that I compiled a file that contain many species. I look at these butterflies often and they never cease to amaze me and show God’s wisdom in His design of this tiny beautiful creature. I’m sending a condensed version to Mel (my original document is over 200 and is way to big to post). I hope that the smaller file which is a pdf can be posted some way because I would really like to share this with everyone.

God Bless you all!
