A few people have asked me how I developed the title of my blog. Well, I'm not that creative; I pinched it from one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands, Jars of Clay. And since I am sorely lacking in creativity today, I will simply post the lyrics for your reading enjoyment. The song is from their excellent album Who We Are Instead. And in case you're wondering, this isn't quite my all-time favorite Jars song (Worlds Apart from their self-titled debut album wins hands-down), but I feel these lyrics best respresent my point of view.
Faith Enough
The ice is thin enough for walking,
the rope is worn enough to climb,
my throat is dry enough for talking.
The world is crumbling, but I know why-
the world is crumbling, but I know why.
The storm is wild enough for sailing,
the bridge is weak enough to cross.
This body frail enough for fighting;
I'm home enough to know I'm lost-
home enough to know I'm lost.
It's just enough to be strong
in the broken places, in the broken places.
It's just enough to be strong
should the world rely on faith tonight.
The land unfit enough for planting-
barren enough to conceive.
Poor enough to gain the treasure-
enough a cynic to believe.
Enough a cynic to believe.
It's just enough to be strong
in the broken places, in the broken places.
It's just enough to be strong
should the world rely on faith tonight.
Confused enough to know direction,
the sun eclipsed enough to shine.
Be still enough to finally tremble
and see enough to know I'm blind-
see enough to know I'm blind.
It's just enough to be strong
in the broken places, in the broken places.
It's just enough to be strong
should the world rely on faith tonight.
Should the world rely on faith tonight...

Love that song!! You are right, though, World's Apart is the best!
I haven't picked my next book yet, it's on my list to do today...I saw the one you got and thought the same thing-I'll probably skip it and wait for your review :)
By the way, if you look way down on the side of your page you will see a box that says followers and a little picture of flip flops on the sand (a big pair, medium pair, and baby pair) yeah, that is me....following you.....just sayin'
