“…Everything you do is important. Every time you forgive the universe changes; every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life the world changes; with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished and nothing will ever be the same again.” -The Shack

Is there a point in time in your life where you have felt the most clarity and peace? Perhaps the greatest understanding of God? I can say that RIGHT NOW I have the greatest understanding, and therefore, are the most fulfilled I have ever been…

I don’t know about you, but I fully believe in serendipity. I have been reading The Shack by W.M. Paul Young. On the way home from the beach I started going through all of the people in my life that I would love to give a copy to. I then wished I had a hi lighter to mark all of the passages I wished to both remember and share with everyone.

We got home to two very happy dogs, and I was overwhelmed with joy. My brother spent the week with them, and I am so grateful that I did not have to spend one second of my vacation worrying about them. Then, I found the one and only thing my brother left behind, a hi lighter. Not only was I happy to have the hi lighter, but the person who left it would LOVE this book as well!

The Shack was recommended to Mike and I by several people we know, and it has left me feeling a sudden need to recommend it to everyone I know… I thought what better way than to write a blog post about it, hoping to reach as many of you as possible. I am not going to tell you a single thing about it, other than it’s a novel and it will change your heart.
