Sarah Type Request

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a humourous read. I've really got a lot out of the book i've been reading recently but at the same time could obviously be a bit hard going at times. So is there anyone who could recommend a book that made them laugh or a slightly more light hearted book?

Peace

Today I went to they gym. However I went to the gym feeling really angry. Now I don't get angry very often - frustrated yes, angry no. But when I do its not good.
Now I needed to go to they gym cos I hadn't been this week but I knew that if I worked out angry then I'd push myself too hard and do myself an injury. So whilst warming up on the cross trainer I put on the soundtrack to amazing grace, I know in the past if i've been stressed its really calmed me down.
By the end of the first track and some prayer (which always helps :->) I was suitably more chilled. And went on for the next half an hour or so having a really great worship session (which actually isn't unheard of whilst I work out in the gym.
But I just wanted to praise God that he can and does come close to us in the smallest places and some would say the strangest places, whether that be at the gym or in a traffic jam (I HATE TRAFFIC JAMS!) or even in the bathroom.
He is an awesome God who is capable of anything and everything .

Query - perhaps a long shot

Has anyone got a copy of Total Youth Invasion that I could borrow - I only want one track really so would prefer not to have to buy it. Is there a nice person out there who owns it by any chance who wouldn't mind me borrowing it briefly?

One of the great things about being part of a church community is that it offers us the family that so many of us crave, and that is how it should be. I once heard someone say that if you go into a church and there are no unusual people there then something is wrong; if there are no social misfits, no weirdoes, no people with body odour, no people who have poor social skills... then the question is 'why not?' What is it about this church that repels people who don't fit in? The church should be the one place where everyone can feel they belong.

Jonah

Well I was gonna blog about roots but there's so much to say that I wouldn't have clue where to start and i'd be here all day and still rambling on which would all be a bit long winded. I got an awful lot from roots some of which is very personal some of which will come out in the wash in conversations. All I will say is that I had an awesome time and came away with a great sense of peace which was great!
Right, onto blog subject. Sat down this morning and have read the introduction notes on Jonah in my study bible and instead of just highlighting the appropriate bits and not reading them again unless I open up that page. I thought i'd put it on here for me to refer to more easily.

As you read Jonah, see the full picture of God's love and compassion and realize that no one is beyond redemption. The gospel is for all who will repent and believe. Begin to pray for those who seem farthest from the kingdom, and look for ways to tell them about God. Learn from the story of this reluctant prophet and determine to obey God, doing whatever he asks and wherever he leads.

Rather than running away from God, trust him with your past, present and future. Saying no to God quickly leads to disaster. Saying yes brings new understanding of God and his purposes in the world.
We must not limit our focus to our own people. God wants his people to proclaim his love in words and actions to the whole world. He wants us to be his missionaries wherevere we are, wherever he sends us.
