I was not in the place during the time and could not get any better news that details about it, but just the other day, I've seen some photos posted from Yahoo remembering the day. All was a spectacle of a defeated and mourning America.

Also, you realize your priorities. When our electricity was off for several days following the tornado that struck my town, it was interesting to see how various people I came in contact with were handling things differently. Most heart-warming was watching neighbor helping neighbor. We are recovering, but I rather miss the community spirit and service to others that is fading back to normal...Cindy Navarrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445029672553073314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639396604259206494.post-33191135552273024872011-08-23T01:30:23.614-04:002011-08-23T01:30:23.614-04:00Chuck...This is a Great point.

I just finished it. I have some serious concerns as far as how God is presented and I would especially have you notice the reviewers comment that should be clearly noted and be a grave concern. She states; "Does the bible say God is a black woman and Asian woman and Jesus? No. But do I believe God might reveal himself as a woman to a hurting child..."<br />Who really cares what you believe, if it doesn't line up with Scripture then it should not be counted worthy of acceptance. Our personal beliefs mean nothing compared to the truth of Scripture.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322927602249679094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639396604259206494.post-68252144145731108352010-10-26T23:18:01.818-04:002010-10-26T23:18:01.818-04:00I have to say that "The Shack" by Willia...I have to say that "The Shack" by William P. Young was a very thought provoking read.<br /><br />After reading the book, I was left pondering several things about it – which is a true testament to the book's worth. I had several questions on the validity of some of the descriptions of God but I had to humbly admit that there may be no answers this side of heaven for how God presents Himself to each individual. <br /><br />I posted a more in-depth review of this book on my own blog <a href="http://www.tracysbooknook.com/the-shack-by-william-p-young-book-review/" rel="nofollow"> www.tracysbooknook.com. </a><br /><br />-Tracytracysbooknook.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232048554372675289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639396604259206494.post-65931815348534646132010-09-10T12:53:51.022-04:002010-09-10T12:53:51.022-04:00Hi Lauren.
