When I sat down to write this post, it was called, Waiting for the cold front and trying to finish a book. However, I walked away for a little while and the cool air blew in! I am in heaven.
If you pay a lot of attention to the weblog, you may have noticed that a certain book has been sitting on the top of my "What Will is Reading Now List" for some time. I have been reading Jon Meachum's American Gospel seemingly forever now. I haven't really given it my full effort especially with all the ordination stuff I have been doing. For me, if I read a book over too long of a time, it really starts to get disconnected and then it gets ever harder to read. I have to either set aside some time and finish it or just give up. I don't think I am going to give up on this one. It is an amazing historic look at the relationship between church and state in our nation. It gives a fascinating glimpse into how the founders and early leaders of our country understood God and religion and how they felt that should relate to the government of the young United States. I will write more... if I ever finish it.
peace,
will
