One of my favorite books is The Shack: Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity. I love it so much because of the conversations between Mack and God. It made me ponder my own perceptions of God and why “bad” things happen. And the whole book felt so real that I could see myself in the story.

So, you know what that means? It calls…
Sometimes I wake up on Saturday mornings and I say this prayer borrowed from a dear friend’s best friend “Lord, order my day today” because my schedule is free to be rearranged.
