I'm not a big fan of insurance companies.

I'm not a big fan of TV commercials.

I'm certainly not a big fan of TV commercials by insurance companies.

Grace and Peace,

The Shack: Top 10 Theologically Dead-On Excerpts

Don't get me wrong. There's plenty in The Shack that, in BW3's words , "needs to make a pit stop for some more theological tune ups." But then there are some moments where you just gotta stop and say, "Bullseye!" Here are my top 10 said moments... 10. "...I don’t need to punish people for sin. Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside. It is not my purpose to punish it; it’s my joy to cure it." 9. "Seriously, my life was not meant to be an example to copy. Being my follower is not trying ‘to be like Jesus’ ... I came to give you life, real life, my life. We will come and live our life inside of you, so that you begin to see with our eyes, and hear with our ears, and touch with our hands, and think like we do.

It’s the middle of the night. A two-year-old girl is asleep in her room. Her mother is sleeping alone in the master bedroom. Her grandmother is sleeping in a detached guest house. Her father is sleeping in another part of the country, but she knows not where. The young girl wakes up, perhaps from a nightmare. She has been having a lot of those during her brief life. She is frightened, in a half-conscious way, and instinctively proceeds to the comforting presence of her grandmother.
