A Good Conversation

So last night I went out with a really nice guy. I had Lena's birthday dinner/party and he had a reception to go to and so we didn't get together until around 9:30pm. So when he called to see where I live, he told me we were going to go to Borders Bookstore and of course I thought that was a great idea because I love book stores. So he picks me up and we drive over there and when we get there, he tells me to pick out one CD and one book that describes me and gave me a 10 minute time limit. It may seem so random for a date but it was different and I enjoyed that. Anyhow, I went straight to the country section and they didn't have the Faith Hill CD I wanted and so I chose a Keith Urban CD instead and the book 5 People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom. I absolutely love that book. Its about a man who dies while working at the Amusement Park as the maintenance man and 5 people come and visit him which represent some different phase in his life and he learns these amazing lessons. There was even a movie made about it. But I loved it! And anyhow, he chose "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis and read an insert for me from one of the chapters called, "Is Christianity Hard or Easy?" I was so extremely impressed by the book he chose and what he had to say about it. I was blown away by his thoughts and ideas and impressions. We talked about how well C.S. Lewis ideas and thoughts parallel with gospel principles. The insert he read for me was so in line with having a broken heart and a contrite spirit. How the Lord doesn't just ask for our hearts but our minds and our wills and our lives. It was amazing! We had such a good conversation and I left feeling revived. I don't think anything will happen between me and him since he is moving to North Carolina in the Fall, but I had a good time and a good, fulfilling conversation. So if you are looking for two books to read, try the ones me and Adam chose. They are keepers!
