June 9, 2009 -- Happy Birthday!

One of the great gifts of this sabbatical is that it has enabled me to celebrate birthdays with two friends with whom such things are not normally possible. One birthday is June 9 and the other, a significant 65th! is on Sunday, June 14th. So it was doubly special that we could get together for conversation, catching up, and dinner together.

Earlier in the day I read from a book I'd brought along -- not one listed at the side, but another one which was loaned to me by yet another friend, which had languished on my night table till now. It's a popular book, and I had the feeling that I was among the last to read it. It is "The Shack" by Wm. Paul Young.

You may or may not agree completely with his theology (I don't) but even if you don't I do believe that you will find truth and meaning within its covers and encourage you to visit your library and borrow a copy. Or do as I did and borrow a copy from a friend. I'll bet that you'll discover that many of them already have a copy.

Reading for today was: Isaiah 3:8-6:5
