From Mississippi to Alabama
We crossed the border into Alabama today and we couldn't resist playing (yes, you guessed it), Sweet Home Alabama (the song) as we entered the state. We will be here one short week before heading to North Carolina for a bit of a spring break :). After spending a few weeks in Mississippi, these are my conclusions. It is a BEAUTIFUL state, especially in the springtime. Lots of trees and flowers. I might consider living here if it weren't for the unbearable hot/humid summers. It's hardly spring yet and the poeple here are already talking about the summer. The people are very nice and laid back. Most people joke about those who live in the backwoods and have no running water (though I never met anyone like that). I did have trouble getting wireless internet and cell signal in a lot of place though. O well, forces me to read more. I read the Shack in three days and am currently finishing up Eat, Pray, Love (both of which I really enjoyed). Each one has been a "make you think" book. I realize both could be considered controversial, but I enjoy processing them. I truly wish I could have read the Shack within a book club or something so I could discuss it with people. If you've read it and have comments or would like to discuss it, let me know....

I read the Shack a couple of years ago. Aaron and I met one of the editors up here in Alaska before it got big. It's such a good book. I hope you don't let people's opinions about it steal away the awesome things that God is talking to you about in your heart while you read it. The whole book is about God meeting people in the midst of their greatest pain. We need that so much. I need to re-read it. It hurts my heart when the meaning and hope and the spirit with which the book was written is stolen away by people searching for perfect doctrine. When not once, has perfect doctrine ever saved a soul.
