Just like her dad <br />I really connect with what you said about all the different books you read and not knowing exactly whose opinions to hold to. <br />I feel that way a lot. It is confusing. It's a mental clean sweep to just focus on The Bible. I think one reason it is confusing is because so many people are focusing on different aspects of their lives. God may be showing them different things. Too much info causes me to feel perplexed sometimes at just what I should be doing <br />Focusing on the bible helps Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897455324381891849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-237333093557464861.post-52917608105538982492017-01-16T10:28:29.453-05:002017-01-16T10:28:29.453-05:00Hi Marilyn,

It's funny that I really don't eat French fries very much, but he managed to catch one of the few times I do so I'm sure I was really savoring every bite! <br /><br />I get so confused when there are too many voices -- and all good ones -- that I don't know whose opinion holds greater truth -- and I guess that's when I can only know that God's truth is the only one I can stake my faith on!

I can tell family is important to you. : ) they always make me feel like I am right there spending time with you and them.<br />So I totally agree with wishing to read more of God's words. At least you read about Him from books. My substitute is Netflix. Sometimes I loathe netlfix. It feels like I have to force myself.

I love french fires and sometimes I get a good craving for them. Winter is such a long season isn’t it! days are shorter but feel longer. I love your thoughts about searching out more of God. I too have thought often about reading less books and more of the straight Bible.
