Homeless sort of...

we keep having all kinds of showings, so we are eating a lot of fast food and right now living at the Johnsons with our dog and soaking up their WI-FI. Maybe we'll be free of our mortgage soon.

Flyer running!

Today, I got to run around to all the gradeschools and meet with people. It was neat to meet new faces and connect with old friends like Joanie Holbein and Denise Peters. God is so amazing. I got to hear hearts of folks that were hurting, tell people about our Easter Outflow and get waves from a kid who went to my old church in Loveland (www.lovedtolove.com). Anyway, the people of our community and schools really seem open to a church that is trying to practically meet the needs of the children of our area. I hope that a FREE meal and a simple thing like an egg-hunt will provide us with a ridiculous amount of ops to love people like Jesus would. Pray with me friends that our 1,200 flyers will not fall on deaf ears, but on open and supple hearts.

THE SHACK

Hi everybody,
Just finished an interesting read. To many it has been controversial and to others life-changing, but I believe that it is by far a worthy read. A story that some have completely missed the point on I think. But for me, this is what I thought...
A book that takes the pain of our lives and teaches us how to walk with God in order to face those pains and grow in our relationship with our heavenly Father. It is a fictional story (for those who prefer non-fiction, like I do, don't be afraid it's worth it) and a wonderful theological dialogue that takes you through one man's journey through his pain to finally give God everything in his life and walk more fully with Father. I encourage all who read it to let go of the symbolism and focus on what is taking place with the main character. His journey is the core of the story.
I personally loved it. It makes you laugh, cry and go really deep all the while entertaining you and challenging you to grow in your faith and forgiveness of others. After I twist Corrie's arm to read it :) I will be passing around my copy.

Thanks goes out to the 1/2 dozen customers at the shop who encouraged me to read it AND big thanks to my dad who let me read his copy.

PLEASE, comment below about THE SHACK if you have read it.

Blessings,
Adam
