THE SHACK

Hi everybody!

Again it just have to say what an amazing book THE SHACK is! (You can click on the photo above to go the book's website.) I have to share with you a small passage from this book. I don't know if it will have the same effect on you as it did me, but it just blows my mind:

GOD IS A VERB.~~~Buckminster Fuller

(This is Holy Spirit, Jesus & God speaking): "I am a verb. I am that I am. I will be who I will be. I am a verb! I am alive, dynamic, ever active, and moving. I am a being verb. And my very essense is a verb. I am more attuned to verbs than nouns. Verbs such as confessing, repenting, living, loving, responding, growing, reaping, changing, sowing, running, dancing, singing, and on and on. Humans, on the other hand, have a knack for taking a verb that is alive and full of grace and turning it into a dead noun or principle that reeks of rules: something growing and alive dies. Nouns exist because there is a created universe and physical reality, but if the universe is only a mass of nouns, it is dead. Unless 'I am' , there are no verbs. And verbs are what make the universe alive.

WOW! I want to be a VERB instead of just a noun. That is a challenge to us all. This book also exposes the religion that is in each one of us, and even those of us that run from "religion" need to do a little review every now and then to see where it might be creeping back in.

Just one more quote from the book:

Rights are where survivors go, so they don't have to work out relationships. ~~~ William P. Young

Gives you something to chew on for a while. Have a super-blessed day today. I'm gonna!

God's love & mine,
