but sometimes it seems to me that some people read the Bible to the exclusion of other wonderful ways to find God.

But sometimes it seems to me some people don't read the bible because they spend to much time reading theology books and books about saints and etc. There is no more wonderful way to find God (the only way IMO) then from HIS WORD.

If you wanted people to get to know you, wouldn't they accomplish that best by reading a book that YOU wrote about yourself rather then a book written by another person about themselves but that you were a part of.

I agree with you as well (what's going on here?) - however, I have and do read the Bible but I also see God in a lot of things - you know what I mean, you probably see him in the same things I do - everywhere and everything everyday.

We can go on and on and make everyone barf, so I'll stop here!

BTW, I read your earlier post about the "Karen" book and the sequel - I LOVED those! I had totally forgotten about them and now I can even remember the covers. Wish I could find them for my daughter. The other book I remember reading was a book about a wealthy teenaged american girl who contracted leprosy (I think this was really a true story in the early 1900s) and finally died a very saintly person - it made me want to contract leprosy and go and live wherever Fr. Damien had the colony. Think this was about the time I wanted to be a Carmelite Nun... to me, that stuff is part of the fun in being Catholic.
