The Shack

I am reading The Shack, I have read about 150 pages. I have been told "everyone" is reading it and it is a 21st Century Pilgrim's Progress and I will simply love The Shack. Pilgrim's Progress was my 5th grade reader, I read it...from Sept 1971 to May 1972 and remember little of it. I am not sure what I think of The Shack. I was too tired to read today, I was sick in bed all day and did very little. 2nd time this year I have been sick. Prayed a lot in the wee hours of the morning, so I was productive as I was being sick.

My husband hired a yard man to help me next week, I am excited about it, though I generally like to do yard work, the heat has gotten me this year a couple of times. I guess because I was indoors most of winter and all of spring visiting my dad in the hospital, I just never acclimated to the heat this year. My dad is having the same problem with the heat. He loves to sit on his patio and read in the mornings but has not done that this year. I think by fall, he'll be up to it. I am already thinking of fall and planting pansies, petunias, lobelia, snapdragons as well as spinach, lettuce and broccoli. I am also looking forward to fall Bible Study, though we haven't picked the study, yet.

I just checked one of my former student's blog, she is pregnant. She has a poll on her blog to guess the sex of her baby. I voted for a girl only because I would love to see Andi have a daughter who is a ballet dancer like her mother. Andi was a great student. I am so glad the Lord put her back in my life as well as Steph. I loved teaching Andi and Steph and I love knowing them as adults.

I suppose I have rambled on enough tonight. Time to be brave and drink a glass of water. I think I will try to read a little too. Have a great Sat. and a blessed Sabbath. Be blessed with these words from the Book of Revelation:

After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
