Classic Rock

I've just started two books this week by two guys named Tom.  One is Tommy Newberry's The 4:8 Principle. It's all about joy found in Phillipians 4:8, but I feel like I'm reading an infomercial.  Hey -- no punch intended.  Tommy's a good guy, a Christian and all that, and it's a New York Time's Best seller.  I've benefited from some of Newberry's time management strategy introduced to my by a pastor I know.  It's just I feel like I'm reading something that's so in the moment.

My other Tom book was written like, 600 years ago.  I'm really digging Thomas A Kempis'  The Imitation of Christ.  This Tom has no blog, no personal web page. He'd never even seen a printing press.  But I love him.  Rich, deep, influential beyond millenia, its a book my world needs.  One of the most influential Christian devotional books ever published. Seriously.

Thomas is classic.  He's written a spiritual rock.  That's what I need, classic rock for my mind.

Okay, my insomnia is ending (the sleeping pill is kicking in), and I am going to bed so I can be fresh for H-Bomb.  Excited to pull that trigger tomorrow at Connexus.
