And as for being barefoot at my wedding, it was great. How many brides end up with tired sore feet after the big day (I had worn terrible shoes as a bridesmaid and didn't want to visit that upon my wedding day!)? I even had tiny daisies painted on each of my toenails. Though it was an outdoor wedding in late spring. Might not work too good other times of the year!<BR/><BR/>This book sounds very interesting. I can't say that where I live is very diverse, but it is more so than it once was. I may need to find a copy and read up.

I can't believe you're reading...Goodness gracious! I can't believe you're reading this.<BR/><BR/>I finished this book not two months ago and was so moved and challenged by it that I wrote out a whole page worth of quotes that I keep on my fridge. WHAT a challenging book! Here's one quote that sticks out in my mind:<BR/><BR/>"If some component of our Western-ness, too precious to give up, blocks Muslims from hearing the Gospel, how will we defend ourselves on the final day? <B>How important will this particular personal freedom seem in the bright light of eternity?"</B><BR/><BR/>The book is challenging precisely because it's not all wrapped up in the language of "rights" and "individual freedom". Instead, she expects us to hold to a MUCH higher standard... whoo! It's such a good book- I was so surprised to find this as your very first post today. <BR/><BR/>It's so fun to learn things alongside other people! <BR/>~JessJess Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372282510182101716noreply@blogger.com
