I'm reading Donald Miller's book Searching for God Knows What. It's great, thanks Michelle for lending it to me! Sometimes you need help to think about things from a different vantage point, Donald Miller is just that person for me right now. Here's an excerpt about our incessant search for something more . . .:
``What we really need is somebody who loves us so much we don't worry about death, about our hair thinning, about other drivers pulling in front of us on the road, about whether people are poor or rich, good-looking or ugly, about whether we feel lonely, or about whether or not we are wearing clothes. We need this; we need this so we can love other people purely and not for selfish gain, we need this so we can see everybody as equals, we need this so our relationships can be sincere, we need this so we can stop kicking ourselves around, we need this so we can lose all self-awareness and find ourselves for the first time, not by realizing some dream, but by being told who we are by the only Being who has the authority to know, and by that I mean the Creator. . . . I know this all sounds crazy. But, once again, can you think of any other reason we wear clothes? Skin is more waterproof than GORE-TEX, you know.``p.110
