Christ In You by Eric B. Johnson

It is highly wondrous to believe that Christ lives in us. This is the journey Eric B. Johnson takes us on in Christ In You. In nine different chapters, he shows different ways Christ shines His Light within us. One way is through faith to see His Kingdom beginning now while still believing the fullness of the Kingdom will come at a future time. If faith is used today, there is the possibility to see that miracles still happen today.

No miracle look the same in any one person's life. The believer must hold on to whatever way Christ chooses to work in his or her life. I see it as asking God for the daily strength to help us accept whatever way He chooses to answer our prayers.

The author tells about his Grandfather's death. He asks The Lord to allow his Grandfather to live twenty more years. Not a huge request if you believe in God's power to sustain life. However, his grandfather dies much sooner. Eric Johnson and family do not lose faith. They endured the trial. Then, they moved forward with their church and continued to watch Christ work with cancer and sicknesses in other people's lives. Their prayers helped others to grow. At the end of Christ In You, the author writes "My prayer is that you will realize what Christ in you is and that you will experience it in your everyday life, the way God intended."

"We watched the woman disappear into the bend of the road. It was unsettling. She seemed possessed, driven by some mimetic force. I was afraid that that force was also a part of me. I was also a worshiper, set wandering in an unfamiliar land."   It seems this week I have been driven to write about my mother. It has happened more than once. Here she is again. Tapping my shoulder a reminder that she loved blue. There is the one and only photo of her where she wears a dress of blue. The photo was taken years and years ago. In the photo are my two nephews, my mother and myself.. The photo was taken in West Philadelphia. She sewed it. A light blue that now I wish to call "Indigo." I have much to learn about Indigo. It is easy to pick up on the author, Catherine E. Mckinley's, fervent love for the color. One day my son asked me my favorite color. I said, "I don't have one." I don't. Perhaps, I choose colors by mood. Today red  and tomorrow green,

http://www.bibliophilebythesea.blogspot.com Closed until June 13     "Michael Hunter stared at the hand-lettered sign on the Gull Motel office, expelled a breath, and raked his fingers through his hair. Not the welcome he'd been expecting after a mind-rumbling thirty-six-hour cross-country drive to the Oregon coast. And where was he supposed to stay for the next three weeks, until the place opened again?"

Are these the types of lives we are seeing and reading about in the news today?

"The difference between life and death was information:..the greatest danger was not the river, but the desert beyond. There the temperatures were so hellish they melted stones, there was no water, and they could be preyed upon by scorpions, wildcats, and hungry real coyotes...Rattlesnakes, as well as coral, moccasin, and darting indigo snakes, came out to hunt at night, the time when the migrants set off, because the daytime heat was lethal." isabelallende
