The Shack both Real and Fictional


Well, it has been a slow journey and now after finishing the book I think I understand why. "Life is difficult" seems to be an understatement. I wonder if anybody else took as long as I to finish reading "The Shack" ? I know Mary finished it long ago. Maybe I am just a slow learner.

I hope I have learned something about myself by finally seeing this book through to the end and by reading Wm. Paul Young's After Words hopefully I will be able to go forth with a new life understanding.

The Real Shack picture I attached to this blog is a curved building along side US-1 some miles north of Ashland, Virginia we have passed by for years on our way to visit Mary's parents in Front Royal, VA. This last trip in January 2010 we made a pact between us that we would take a picture before it fell down and was no more.

Did seeing this weathered building once more lead me to finally finish the book, I dunno? Whatever the reason I am glad I did it.

Here is hoping if someone else has been putting off and putting off something that they get the chance to finish, too.

Oh by the way, Mary Sr. introduced us to the book couple years ago after another visit which took us by that old building on US-1.
