Thoughts from Mary

I wanted to add my thoughts about the book since I will be away. I liked the description of Heaven as it kind of jived with my brief glimpse, but I wondered how influenced it was in his mind with how much he knew about visions in the Bible. When I was a child I had a very limited knowledge of what heaven should look like. Interesting. Also I thought the man was insufferably self- centered. You never really get any sense of what the people around him were like. Maybe that could be the result of hurting so badly???

Cookie guidelines

So, I haven't been in church for 2 weeks... I am hoping that someone can tell me if there is consensus on the cookie swap... how many? Are we swapping among ourselves or helping out the youth group? Katie made her required 3 dozen today. YAY! Now - how many more?

Also - have you all finished 90 Minutes in Heaven yet? There's little chatter on the real reason for this blog! I like it so much better than the last book. I found that I have wanted to go back twice to read over the description of heaven.

I also picked up a book while home in PA for Thanksgiving. I think it is called I still believe... and, though it is not yet opened up, from the cover I gather that it's a kind of come back book for Christians to respond to naysayers. Any help I can get you know? Those of you who know me well, know how inarticulate I can be. :)

Cookie Swap Suggestions?

Hi Everyone,

Do we have any rules/suggestions for the cookie swap--as in how many to bake, etc.
