J. Jacobs in Parade magazine (comes with the Sunday paper) and some other places and he is VERY funny! He really knows how to tell a story and I laughed out loud at everything I've read by him. Sounds like an interesting book, Greg. I'd like to read it. I forget what his latest book out is, but it sounded good, too. One of the pieces he wrote that was really funny was he & his family trying to eat their Thanksgiving meal as the pilgrims actually ate theirs (and not as has been presented to us in advertising and amended and embellished history). It was laugh out loud funny, for some of the same reasons he gives in the excerpt you share above - trying to be careful in substituting or not, etc. As for books . . . I've got several lying on a table in the living room that I need to get back to soon. I bought several, read two and am in the third one, but then left for Texas and haven't gotten back to it. Thanks for yet another EXCELLENT post, brother Greg!! Cheers! Dee I’ve read some pieces by A. J. Jacobs in Parade magazine (comes with the Sunday paper) and some other places and he is VERY funny!

I am SO glad I've learned that while I'm trying so hard not to break the rules, that's not really what He wanted in the first place. One of my favorite quotes is "Love God, and do what you want." My own book addiction is on hold. I was really hoping that when I finished reading for school (mid-life master's degree), I could get back to reading for fun. Maybe when all these girls graduate high school and I get that RV and start living on the road :) Saturday morning, amidst numerous “challenges” in my life over the past couple of weeks, I was reminded that God did not call me to be perfect, only to be His.

I’m still laughing! I need to find that book. BTW I am sure I have a book addiction. I love, LOVE, books and reading. Larry has finally said he isn’t buying another bookshelf so I need to quit buying books. Should I laugh or cry??? :) I like having my own personal library. :) Sometimes things that make us (me) laugh the hardest are the ones bursting with truth. I’m still laughing!

Sounds like an interesting book, but the cookies sound like the better part of the deal. Peace. Does he not cover your favorite verses from Leviticus 18?
