Why is it that two of the best shows on TV, Grey's Anatomy and House have to incorporate some sort of homosexual agenda into their shows? Is that really necessary to keep the people watching the shows and keep the ratings up? It just frustrates me. When I was in high school and college, they did that with ER too. What's the purpose? I guess it's to be all inclusive of all types of people, so no one can say that those networks are prejudice. Whatever.
So, this weekend I have been reading the Shack for a second time. I have the privilege of going to hear the author this coming Monday morning and I wanted to read it again before I hear him speak. It's very interesting to read it a second time around after I have found myself in a different place then I was the first time I read it. For example the quote "honesty is messy" means something very different to me now than it did the first time I read it. When I read that sentence the first time, it was more of a "what to expect" kinda thing....that when I choose to be honest with God it will be messy. Now, it's a "been there done that" mentality and yes, it is extremely messy.
Yet there are other ways that I can see myself in the character of Mac. in his questions and his inability to trust God because he didn't understand how God worked and where He was and who He was when his daughter was murdered. Lack of trust seems to be the running theme in this novel. So, while some things are different, seen from a different perspective, some things are still the same the second time around.
