You s...Lydia, Sounds like your mom is legalistic. You should talk to her about that. She should read Who Are You to Judge?: The Dangers of Judging and Legalism by Dave Swavely. Can you get that book for her? <BR/><BR/>It's just that making someone dance for 3 hours without stopping is going way overboard. Sure, David danced to praise God...and I'm sure he danced to hard rock music too, but there is no proof whatsoever that he danced for 3 hours. Even if he did do it for 3 hours, he probably stopped for a break or two. <BR/><BR/>Christ's yoke is easy and His burden is light. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, your mom does ask some good, thought-provoking questions about Marcia. I guess I'll cut your mom some slack...a little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599328576365025114.post-66179297475103832512008-08-07T08:40:00.000-07:002008-08-07T08:40:00.000-07:00I think this book is ok and I remember being reall...I think this book is ok and I remember being really excited about it 14 years ago when you were a baby and Mrs. Hendry sent it to me. However, it's not perfect by a long shot :)...just good to start discussions maybe.. It's too long to write it in a comment but some questions you can ask yourself are:<BR/>1) what is Marcia's ultimate motivation for staying "pure" till marriage? <BR/>2) from where did her strength come when she was struggling, do you think?<BR/>3) Is Marcia's ultimate goal to arrive on her wedding night sexually pure? Do you think she made it? This is a trick question. :-]<BR/>I haven't read the book in.. uh... 14 years. But these are some of my questions. Thank you for bringing up the book again. It is funny how things look different to me now, than when you were a baby. I am thankful that God continues to use things.. even imperfect things.. :) to spur us on. That book spurred me on when you were a baby in one way, and now it spurs me on in a whole different way. "But I speak mysteriously..
