Starting Priciple of the Path

It's time to get this blog going.  I hope you've had a chance to at least read the back cover of our book, Principle of the Path.  Does the subject interest you?  The chapters are fairly short and so I hope you can get started on the first few.

I'm going to put out these guidelines for suggested reading and writing.  Let's try to have the first three chapters read within the next two weeks:  Chapters 1-3 by September 25th.  This will probably take you 45 minutes.  Then we can take the weekend to organize some thoughts for reactions to the reading.  As always, if you read ahead and want to comment before that feel, free to begin.  I suggest reading with a notecard as your book marker so you can take a few notes of ideas that catch your attention.  These are just suggestions to get us started together.

Here's some questions to ponder as you're reading:
  • How do you see your life being affected by the principle of the path?
  • Where do you think the path you're currently on will take you?
  • Describe the destination you wish to reach.  Will your current path take you there?
  • Has another path taken you away from a path you'd rather (or should) be on?
  • What discrepancies exist between what you desire and what you're doing?
If you'd like to contribute to the blog, please email Aunt Sue and she will add you as an author - we're high security here at Nancy's Book Club.

Any other questions about blogging can be directed to Hans.

Good morning family,
Thank you, Hans, for setting this up. You are great! Paul has started the book and has enjoyed it. I am planning to follow your outline of chapters 1-3 by tomorrow. I will comment on the book after I read. I am praying that the family actively participates. My mother would love this.

All is well in the Haas home. Gwendolyn Victoria is the 'bell of the ball' these days:) We are all enjoying her so much. I cannot wait for you all to meet her.

Love and blessings to each of you,
Heather
