We took a lovely, albeit simple, family vacation this summer. Sometimes, simplest is best. :) It started with a trip to Grand Coulee Dam.

Well, it goes back to January when I started a book study online--the book was Knowing God .  In this book , the author J. I. Packer, made some pretty outrageous statements about God and His followers. One of these comments really struck home for me. He wrote, about so many Christians today:
