Comments on: The State of My Union http://cravesomethingmore.org/2010/01/28/the-state-of-my-union/ There's so much more to life and faith than this. And we know it.

I think he made some valuable observations.

I went through pretty dark period where I was drinking a ton, and I even started to doubt the very existence of Him. I feel, though, that it is getting better, and I continuously pray for guidance and wisdom, and hope that he sees me through it all. I was an atheist for some time, and the best times of my life were when I had Jesus, so I don't want to lose sight of Him. I will pray that your words and inspirations are always inspired by His great love. We, as Christians, struggle to maintain our sanity in a world that believes us to be crazy. And knowing that He is right there with us should keep our heads somewhat clear. My relationship often scares me, especially now.

I guess we'll just have to hope for a 2nd printing. I wish the book wasn't already released so we could change out the endorsement on the cover. I guess we'll just have to hope for a 2nd printing.

I read some blog posts of a confessional nature, "I am such a scum bag, and I don't deserve God's grace, yada, yada..." and in the back of my mind I'm thinking, "I see your angle. You're writing about how horrible you are so that everyone will leave comments about how awesome you are." And then I want to throw up in my mouth. But I don't get that from you. That's good. "Chris Tomlinson: He doesn't make me want to vomit." (feel free to use that.) Halfway through the book and I absolutely love how honest you come across.

The state of my union with Christ? Well it definitely could be better. I think I lost sight of what is important. Fortunately, as you point out, God blesses any way and He has patiently waited for me to stop for the sake of finding His priorities. Great post and an interesting question.
