So I risk their wrath (carefully chosen word) with today’s post. The novel The Shack has begun a wave of debate, hand-wringing, defensiveness and condemnation in Evangelical circles. The book has been called dangerous, subversive and heretical by many critics.

Since my delayed flight arrived at 2 in the morning and they couldn’t find our rent car I nearly missed this joyous day.

At best they hope to live out the strategy I saw on a t-shirt recently. 1. Get out of bed 2. Survive 3.

And I know that is true for women as well. Jim Valvano, the now deceased coach, said "My father gave me the greatest gift that anyone could give another person, he believed in me."

My dream to be a Major League Baseball player died really quickly in Little League. It was somewhere around the time I saw my first breaking ball delivered by a pitcher that looked like he drove to the game. Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:25:00 GMT 11577012 David Burchett
