OK, so God's not REALLY a black woman.....

Spent a long weekend w/family in the mid-west, all the while reading (that is: experiencing) an amazing book, The Shack (www.theshackbook.com).
It was an inconvenient time to have such an equally inconvenient book leave its HUGE imprint on me. My perspective on things-Christian was deeply challenged - almost painfully so.

Think of these bullet points:
* WWJD - No, are you kidding! No, it's not "WWJ do?"...it's "How are we to be?"
*Religion, politics and economics are the 'Trinity of Terrors'...hmmm, so how do we REALLY change the world?
*Jesus to a main character: "I am not a Christian". (Hmmm...that ought ot challenge a whole boatload of folks...)
*Declaring independence will result in evil..SAY WHAT?
*God has no expectations of us at all.....wow.....who thinks like that?
*Forgiveness does not create a relationship......

Much, much more....check out the site.

Headed back to Boise tonight.
