In 2007 my father gave me a book called The Shack. He thought it was important that I read it but I never really got around to looking into it. I thought he just wanted me to read it because the shack on the cover looked exactly like the house we had lived in. Now many years later I felt that during my sabbatical would be a great time to see what it was about. I would also get to be a big book hipster before the movie comes out. “the book was soooo much better than the movie”
So yeah it was a great story. I laughed. I cried. I wished God was a black woman. Dad if you are reading this… thanks for the book, I’m glad you gave it to me. I apologize for being 9 years late with this message into the void.
I’m also have been focusing on reading the Bible the last few days of my sabbatical. I usually find it difficult to understand what I am supposed to get from each verse or even just understand what is happening so I bought a guide that was suggested to me and it has been helping me with that quite a bit. I’m hoping that we will be doing Bible studies in my department again soon. Away from work the people I spend most of my time around don’t care at all about religious stuff so its a nice when I can talk about God and faith when possible.
Also pulled off a pretty cool feat. I took a 7 hour nap. I will be setting an alarm next time so that my sleep schedule doesn’t go crazy just before I have to go back to work.
