Please excuse the vague reference to this classic moment from
Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein”. Igor mistakenly picks out the
wrong brain for Dr. Frankenstein’s life-generating experiment. The brain
was labeled ABNormal – pronounced Abby Normal by Igor. I
couldn’t help but remember that movie as I started to read this book from John
Ortberg – Everybody’s
Normal Till You Get to Know Them. I have just started it, but
his premise is that while people may seem normal on the outside, we are all
ABNormal when you really get to know us. We are all broken
creatures in need of our Savior. And our biggest need after knowing our
Savior, is knowing each other. Ortberg spends the first couple of
chapters talking about community and how we can find it. Let me hear from
you if you have read this one or if you would like to read along
with me.
