A Slice from Pastor Jim’s Bookshelf
We live two miles down a dirt road, situated between Tightwad and Racket, Missouri, off the limestone bluffs of Truman Lake. A weekly pleasure is to travel with our neighborhood dinner group to restaurants across our rural area. The inspiration for today’s blog is Primitive Olde Crowe Winery & Pizza — for their custom baked pizza! At the order counter, you can see staff favorites by custom pizza. For me, it is, not surprisingly, “The Poet”! A thin cracker crust, artichoke hearts, baked chicken, salad peppers, a delicate white sauce, olives, a handful of jalapenos requested by me, and a dusting of pine nuts. No hamburger and cheddar cheese on this masterpiece. Our group resembles the pizzas, some conservative, others artistic. More meat. Vegetables only please! Try it next Sunday at church, “If you were a pizza, what would you be?!” We are multiple slices served out of one oven.
The Curator’s List is comprised of a slice of books that I have on my bookshelf, or had on my bookshelf, as well as an inspiration bookstore. There is not enough room for all the books that I had over the years, possibly four or five libraries with many books given away due to clergy moving. I hope that you accept my gift of the “Spiritual Poet’s” list to inspire you to create your own list along your discipline of study. Who knows what God will bring out of the oven! Your masterpiece!
My hope for your is that you curate your own spiritual slice! Big favor – if you see that I have left off your favorite spiritual resource, email me at pastor.jim@ChristiansNeedtoKnow.com. After all, we are still practicing our faith, and there is room for other ingredients on the pie. Please shop around if you can find a better deal. Let this be an inspiration board for you. The goal is to build your spiritual discipline of study versus building my wallet.
