Once again, it's time for a glimpse of the diverse sources I've recently been calling upon in the formation of my "frame of life reference" mentally and spiritually, so savor the proceeding wackness:
1. Paula White/televangelist and inspirational speaker - Yes, I think she's a bit crooked financially and I hope Senator Grassley calls her to the carpet in that area. But I am captivated by her enthusiasm and dynamic charisma. I don't think discussion of spiritual things needs to be boring and irrelevant. Her speaking always peps me up and makes me smile. Sometimes, that is precisely what is needed to propel me through the day.
2. Marianne Williamson/New Age guru of "Course of Miracles" fame - Yes, I think she's a bit crooked in a few nutjob beliefs from "the course". But lately I find myself in surprising agreement with a heckuva lot of her stuff. Ten years ago, I would have held her opinions at bay based on narrow-minded labeling. Thank goodness I've grown enough to be open to viewpoints from sources not so obviously lifted from the evangelical assembly line.
3. The Shack/recent bestselling spiritual fable - Anyone who knows me knows I'm not much of a fiction person, but this work has intrigued me greatly and I highly recommend it for those looking for a fresh view of God which is, again, not cut from the same old Christianese cloth.
