Eve

I was given a book yesterday to read. I started in on the way home from church, at about 4:00. I finished it just before midnight. I told my husband I was on strike, I had to read my book. He handled it well, I admit.

What began as a thriller; serial killer eludes FBI for 2 years; had slight romantic maybe even scandalous tones; lead FBI on the case's marriage has fallen apart- introduce new, young, beautiful partner; a good, intersting read, right?

So much more.

I was captivated. And now I'm realizing I cannot divulge too much information, because I want all of you to read this book. Maybe not in 6 hours (subtract dinner, putting children to bed, etc. I never TRULY go on strike), like I did. But I guarantee, you will be thinking about this long after you close the book.

And I'll just leave you with a few of my thoughts. Where does evil, such as the evil that drives a killer, come from? Is it truly 'evil', or just the result of psychotic tendencies that hide with in some of us? Why do people deny the existence of God; or if not God- cuz He's getting okay to mention, here and there- then the existence of His opposition?

Even we, as believers, fall into the comfort of, 'well, God is protecting me, I'm washed by the blood of Jesus, my sins are gone, and the devil, his minions, or evil, are subjects that make a great book, but won't really affect me at all'!

So, thanks Chris, for making me lose sleep, keep my house a disaster, and neglect my duties on a Sunday evening. lol. But also for being part of God, getting my attention, again.
