Just finished another book by Hanna Alexander. This one was a follow up to Hideway (which I have discovered that I didn’t mention before). Safe Haven
is a well written, fast paced, clean story. I can recommend any of the 5 books written by Hanna Alexander (a husband/wife team) that I have read. See my recently read library.
Over the last couple of days we’ve had some fun with Paige and Chris (our future son-in-law). Yesterday, good Friday, we went on a search for bluebonnets. After almost giving up we spotted a field full of them mixed with a red thistle? After taking a hundred pictures we went to their church for a very well done Good Friday service. The night was topped off with warm rolls and squash casserole at Black Eyed Pea. Mmmmmmmm . . . .


I just finished an interesting article on the Newsweek website. It’s a debate about Christianity between Rick Warren and an atheist. These type of articles always come out just before a Christian holiday, don’t they?
Rick, last thoughts?
WARREN: I believe in both faith and reason. The more we learn about God, the more we understand how magnificent this universe is. There is no contradiction to it. When I look at history, I would disagree with Sam: Christianity has done far more good than bad. Altruism comes out of knowing there is more than this life, that there is a sovereign God, that I am not God. We’re both betting. He’s betting his life that he’s right. I’m betting my life that Jesus was not a liar. When we die, if he’s right, I’ve lost nothing. If I’m right, he’s lost everything. I’m not willing to make that gamble.
