Our friend AJ Daniels has just opened a new christian store in Potsdam named, Living Water Christian Store. We went to check it out on Saturday and I ended up purchasing a new mug for my morning smoothie, the latest Wow CD and a very interesting book our church is currently reading. What a great store!

Where is the bookstore at? Haven't read that book yet... you'll have to tell me if it is good.

It's very, very good. (A bit repetitive, but good!)
Opening page...prod-i-gal
1. recklessly extravagant
2. having spent everything
Very cool.
page 126 holds my very fav chapter & reminds me of the loss that we all experience without having Steve Fockler around.
"In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets. Now that Charles (williams) is dead, I shall never again see Ronald's (Tolkien's) reaction to a specifically Charles joke. Far from having more of Ronald, having him to myself now that Charles is away, I have less of Ronald....In this, Friendship exhibits a glorious nearness by resemblance to heaven itself where the very multitude of the blessed (which no man can number) increases the fruition which each of us has of God. For every soul, seeing Him in her own way, doubtless communicates that unique vision to all the rest. That, says an old author, is why the Seraphim in Isaiah's vision are crying "Holy, Holy, Holy" to one another (Isaiah 6:3). The more we thus share the Heavenly Bread between us, the more we shall have.
This paragraph is not only beautifully written, but it touches me at the deepest part.
If you read this book, I hope you enjoy!
