books galore

I finally finished Driven by Eternity and was planning to start on Transformation (in the marketplace)- by Ed Silvoso, a book given to me by my DGL many moons ago. Yes, he was the guy who was the speaker at the conference @ Expo organised by Love Singapore Churches the day where the AWARE EGM was supposed to be held. I never got past the 2nd chapter. I am still at the second chapter now.

The sweetheart and I walked into the library and in the process of picking up the books she wanted, she chanced upon Since You Asked - The best of Salon.com's by Cary Tennis. I had originally taken a look @ his site because she had shared it with me. He's supposed to be the Aunt Agony in his column which appears @ Salon.com. I browsed through a few entries, and his response to people's problems really tickled me. A good source of entertainment for now. I really appreciate our differences more and more. There is so much to learn from each other it's never boring :) Before getting together, although we both kinda felt complete as individuals ( though I dun have the gift of celibacy.. YES IT"S A GIFT OF GOD), it's nice how we fill up each other's gaps.

I need to pick up a copy of the book written by the National Council of Churches soon. My ex CGL was telling me it was not by coincidence that he picked it up from his colleague's desk yesterday before he knew that he had to speak to me. He said he was reading this section on homosexuality. After he graduated as a civil engineer, he had worked with campus crusade, then gone for ETC @ COvenant, went on staff for 2 years or so, and now is teaching secondary kids christian education. His gift is in teaching, and I am a bit hesitant about talking theology with him regarding this issue. But I trust that God will see us through.. he's gentle enough, his questions non- pointing, his response non-discriminating.. but we shall see..

Am supposed to read Joy Luck Club by next Wednesday as one of the books chosen for the level teachers. Bleah. I will prolly read the summary instead. I vaguely remembered the story. I think I read this book when I was in JC??

So many books, so little time.....
