Made it to church today. Felt so good to be there! I finished listening to The Shack this morning. I may have to buy a hard copy as well because of the great quotes preceeding each chapter and to have it available to re-read portions as I want to do so. I love the depiction of the Trinity. I think it was the confusion created by the unexpected that began opening Mack's heart for change. Visit the link under my favorites for more information and sample the content to see what you think. For myself, this book is an example of the teacher arriving just as the student is ready. I am so happy I was able to get to Asbury today. Remember my statement of intention last week?!?
