I really enjoyed my book study. Sadly, I did not like the book ("After You Believe," by N.T. Wright), but that's okay. You'll never learn anything or expand your horizons if you only read books you like. I didn't agree with him on some of the things he said, and I found him tedious and the chapters long. Actually, quite a few of the people in my group didn't finish it.
We enjoyed discussing it, though. It was so nice to be with those people, and I got to know some people better than I normally would have. I'm hoping we'll do something like this again.
And the book wasn't all bad. I did like this thought: "...failure to worship the one true God leads to a failure to think, and thence to a failure to act as a fully human being ought." It gets you thinking.

So are you going to keep meeting together?
Your new blog title has me baffled. I keep trying to think of what it might mean philosophically. Perhaps I'm thinking too hard and it's just that you like creamy mashed potatoes. I actually don't mind if they're a little bit lumpy; makes me think they must definitely be homemade. :) (but creamy's good too, of course!)
I like good book studies! Almost even better if the book isn't good but the study is!
Oh, Chel, have you still not seen While You Were Sleeping?
these mashed potatoes are so creamy.
i don't know if we'll be meeting again. they're having a small group information thing on sunday, but of course i work, so i'll have to call someone next week and find out.
Wow, that is a good quote! and convicting.
you guys misunderstood: i've seen that movie several times; i just didn't know if there was a double philosophical meaning to it that connected in some way to her blog. :P
no, no philosophicalness to the title
