A Book Review
I just finished a great book. "The Shack" by William Young. The first few chapters were not my cup of tea, although they were well written. Then it really got good. The cover has a comment that compares it to Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress". I think this is true. It really gets you to rethink paradigms that have greatly limited mans relationship to God. It was so exciteing that, although a fiction book, I took notes because I want time to contemplate some of the representations proposed by characteristics of the Trinity. This is all I will say about it for now. My mind is still wrapping around much of the possibilities proposed through the characters in the book. A good friend was over today who is also reading the book. It was very enjoyable to have someone to talk to about how to assimilate possibilities exposed through these characters.
I have a slight case of cabin fever and will have my mother in law drop me off at some store while she is at the gym. We in the deep South stay indoors where it is air-conditioned like Northerners escaping winters chill.

About the Wind
When you live on an island, it is always a good idea to follow all storms in the Atlantic with a serious eye. Then when one misses you, prayers for the next landfall kick in since you are intimately conected with what is involved with a direct hit. We lived in Morgan City La. for a year. While there we sat through the scariest hurricane I have ever been in and I've been in a few. The winds were howeling and rain came in under the door and windows. I will be happy if I never experience another hurricane.
I have been enjoying the free video's on www.fathersglory.com. I am relatively new to the Internet and gave my E Mail address. Right after this I received my first spam. Now I will be more careful where I give my information.
We had an impromptu barbecue yesterday. It began with one friend coming over and grew to over a dozen. There was plenty of food and a good time was had by all. Sometimes unexpected celebrations are the best. No long range planning necessary.
I have been transported back to the 4th grade. My grandaughter is visiting and she has brought her home school C.D.s. So my liveing room is filled with the sound of a language arts class.
Today I want to keep the beautiful face of Jesus formost in my mind's eye and allow His peace to buid my confidence that the future is calmly in His capable hands.
