NaBloPoMo can suck it. This is Sunday! The day of rest! It’s also a holiday weekend! You aren’t actually sitting at your computer reading this. You are out enjoying your holiday.
And, yet. Here I am. Blogging. Because I said I would. Because I am a total douche.
Speaking of God (hey, the title mentioned him), have any of you read The Shack
by William Young? As I’m sure you all know, I’m not much of a Jesus freak. I don’t go to church and I don’t read the Bible. I don’t agree with what most churches teach and I dunno, I just have my own little religion. I do believe there is a God and I do believe that he is quite like the God in the book The Shack. If you’ve not read it, you really should. Even if you aren’t churchy. Even if you ARE churchy. It’s a really interesting book. (No, I was not paid or asked to pimp this book. Do you really think anyone would choose my blog to do a review of a book about God?)
Ha. I opened up my laptop with no idea what the eff I was going to say and out comes GOD. Obviously, NaBloPoMo is detrimental to my mental health.

Hey, I am indeed sitting here, just waiting for you to post on my holiday weekend. Because some of us are trapped in our apartments by the GIANT STREETFAIR happening outside. x.x

Shit… what does it say about me that I’m sitting here reading this???
And I loved The Shack – I’m definitely spiritual, but can’t say I consider myself religious, because most of the churchy stuff just doesn’t do it for me. But that book wasn’t preachy or churchy at all

Well, that’s something I didn’t expect to see from you this morning. Way to keep us guessing, Karl!

Yeah, it’s either blog reading or grocery shopping today. Wooohooo!
I loved The Shack. Guideposts magazine had a great article last month about the author and why he wrote it.

I tried The Shack but I couldn’t get into it! I may pick it up again some time…

Am I really this dumb??? What the eff is NaBloPoMo, and where do I get some? I might need a little more God in my life (send positive vibes or I may have to kill the boyfriend. After 9 months of “they dont pay enough” with 60k jobs, he is about to take a job that pays less than 30 and is crappy – I may be forced to end his bitching)

I have that book…bought it months ago because everyone said it was the “Pilgrim’s Pride” for ‘my’ generation…..I can’t get past the first 15 pages and I have tried more times that I can count on my fingers and toes.
Ohe well…

I’ve read it. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I think more people would love a relationship with God if it weren’t for the religions that Man has created. KWIM?
Try looking for Kerry Shook’s sermons on TV. Not churchy at all…just a good dose of good stuff to fill your cup up once a week. http://www.kerryshook.org/broadcast_schedule.asp

I gave up on NaBloPoMo in August…and then I considered doing it again this month, because there was a month, I think it was – oh hell it’s been so long since I last did it that I can’t recall, but there was a month when I did do it. Jesus Christ it was like running a marathon.
Despite that, I’m gonna try again in October. Or maybe I’ll wait till November because that’s when Meg leaves for Basic and I’m sure I’ll have lots of blog fodder then.
Now I’m off to order The Shack.
