so i finished the shack a couple of days ago. all in all a good read, and i would recommend it. a lot of the imagery he uses reminded me of the ted decker series black, red and white. i think he did a good a job as any, attempting to articulate the relationship between the father, son and spirit. one part in particular sticks out in my mind - god the spirit takes the main character to a garden and begins tending it. this garden turned out to be his "heart," which is woven together from his own choices and god's eternal purposes. pretty fascinating stuff, to say the least!

emily and the kids returned home safely friday night! mom and dad were here, to help get some things done around the house. we installed a new sink and faucet. emily loved it, and it makes it much easier to "do dishes" now!
today we started a small little garden in our back yard. i played in the dirt for about an hour to get a little piece of our land ready for some tomato and cucumber plants. hopefully, this summer, we will be eating some of our juicy vegies grown in our own backyard. if all goes well, we will expand our little experiment a couple of more feet. who knows, in a couple of years we may be planting some corn back there. won't our neighbors just love us then!?
