journaling through "My Utmost for His Highest"

for now, this blog is going to be more of an online journal. my rationale:
  1. i've been reading through Oswald--that's a great name isn't it?--Chambers' now classic work, My Utmost for His Highest. i don't know how long i've known about this book. probably ever since i was, proverbially speaking, "knee high to a grasshopper." but, for some reason, i resisted reading it until this past january. i am consistently inspired by it, and so i wanted to write down some thoughts as inspiration comes. i want to be able to remember what i've read from day to day. i find that writing about something (and this experience might be true of yourself as well?) is a great way to come to a deeper understanding of it.
  2. my hope is that, if anyone reads these posts, they might be directed to Chambers' book or--even better--to the biblical texts from which his devotions arise.
