It's sad.....

I just watched a youtube sermon/review on The Shack by Mark Driscoll. I have to say it was one of those reviews that I have come to expect from evangelicals. He starts by making fun of the idea that God would meet someone in a "shack". He goes on to criticize the fact that God the Father, first appears as a black older woman called Papa, to Mack. He calls this "Godess worship", when it is clearly explained that "Papa" chose to appear this way because Mack, envisions God as a little old white haired man, as many people do. He argus that Father God is a spirit. Yes Mark, most of us get that. We also get that for the sake of the point of the book God appeared as a human. This was a story the author originally wrote for his kids. It wasn't meant as a literal desciption of God. it is actually a pretty amazing picture of the trinity and how God views us. His review is nothing more than looking for something to attack.

It is sad that Mark feels the need to tear down this work and tell people to avoid it because he doesn't get it. Mark at times has some really good things to say. I wish he could do what he does, without attacking others.

Peace,

Tired

I am finding myself tired these days. It may partly be due to the weather change. I don't mind winter when it is here, I hate the anticipation of it. But, it also has to do with the ongoing rollercoaster that cancer in the family can be. Joe is back in the hospital for chemo. The Dr.'s are saying this is their last option and therefore,... ours as well. We thank God for every day that He has given us with Joe, they have been a gift. We just want more. He seems to be responding to the chemo, but we won't know what that means until,..... later.

My new toy

Well, finally, the time has come. Next spring I will be driving this baby.....
