I got nothing on the name ideas (did you see how creative I got on my recent name change?).... BUT I want to ask...how's "The Shack"? I've heard a lot about it lately. What do you think?

I really liked it. It definitely makes you think outside the box and redefine how you see God. I understand why people have theological issues with it, but I was personally blown away by it. It was worth the read. John's reading it now, and hopefully he'll post his insights when he's done with it.

I'm not quite done, but I'm far enough in to say that I like it. There are parts I don't identify with, and parts I don't necessarily agree with, but on the whole I find it a thought-provoking picture of our relationship with the triune God.
