Welcome to Litsy!

This had some very interesting ideas about the way we worship, the practice of liturgies/rituals, and how the way we spend our time denotes what we truly value. You may not value/love what you think. I found the first half very eye-opening. It did get a little repetitive and less insightful in the second half. "Worship is the arena in which God recalibrates our hearts, reforms our desires, and rehabilitates our loves."

This takes a very simple concept to teach a deeper lesson- how do we get into the habit of loving others and loving God? The author looks at ways we tend to love ourselves or love things and pushes us to transform that habit into a new habit of loving others, so it becomes a part of who we are. A quick read that got a bit repetitive.

As a new year begins, I'm thinking about the way I spend my time and what I want to focus on this year. My family, friends, and faith are what I want to invest my time in. Oh, and, of course, reading! I'm ready to make some adjustments and this book is inspiring the process! #currentread #christian #inspiration

Excellent. James K. A. Smith has encouraged me to think about my daily rhythms. Time to be more intentional about my formation, daily practice, and vocation.

New book!

Reading this for a group Hubby is leading at church. I'm only a couple chapters in, but it is fantastic! The first 3 end notes sold me: 1) Charles Duhigg, 2) David Foster Wallace, 3) Augustine. I can't wait to see where he goes from here!
