God on the Dock

November 12, 2008 – 5:57 pm
How many times have you found yourself lost in the stars?  Gazing up into the dark night and seeing the pinpoints of lights of other suns or planets, Jesus and Mack find themselves doing just that in this chapter and its wonderful to find Jesus impressed by the view.  A lot of times we find ourselves amazed by the little things in our lives, I guess you could call looking at the stars a little thing based on what we believe Jesus and God have created.  At least it makes for good conversation between Jesus and Mack, so why not call up a good friend, go out watch some stars one night and have a good conversation of your own?  Check out this week's notes. As Always Peace, Joy and Love, Danny

October 29, 2009 Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner

October 29, 2008 – 5:37 pm
The notes are posted for chapter five, Mack is about to meet Papa and his or her (?) friends.  How ironic that the chapter is named after a movie from the turbulent 60's with Sidney Poiter and Spencer Tracy and then loosely remade (I cringe to think of it) with Bernie Mac and Anton Kutcher (Guess Who).  The first movie tacked the concept of mixed marriage or relationships in a time when we a country could not handle integration in our schools much less in our families.  The irony of this is when Papa shows up as an African American woman!  Ah the times they are a changing.  Please make sure you help them change by voting on Tuesday, no matter what way you want to see change, it will only happen when you step into that booth and mark your ballot and make history for either party. Love, peace and ...

We have all had events in our lives that cause us sadness and change our lives.  Here we learn what caused the Great Sadness to come into the lives of Mack and his family.  It sets the tone for how he manages to deal with it and how returning to the Shack is the only answer.

Hello all, The notes for the first week of the Shack are now on line and we are just going to focus on the foreword for the first night the character of Mack is a complex man and in the foreword we find out who he is and some of his character that makes him who he is, for those of you who have finished the book I hope you remembered to read the foreword, sometimes we tend to skip over those parts of the book and they are like a treasure map giving you a starting point.

October 1 notes

September 30, 2008 – 3:35 pm
Hello All, Well we are at the end of our book and the beginning of sharing what we have learned with others.  I thought this was such a powerful and inspiring book.  We will come back to Tolles writing next year when we read and discuss the Power of Now and learn how to apply that to our lives.  The notes for this week's discussion are on line.  I hope to see you on Wednesday and after that as we begin our last book of the year The Shack.  If you are still interested in obtaining one of the copies that have been made available please let me know and I will see that you get a copy.  There are still four copies, all you have to do in return, is read the book and come to the book group.  Peace and all good. Danny

Hello all, We are getting closer to finishing up this book.  Our next book is going to be "The Shack" by William P. Young.  It comes highly recommended by several folks at the church, especially Rev. Charley.  I hope you will join us in October for this book.  You can pick up a copy now and start reading it and there is something totally different about this book that we have never done in our book group before, see if you can figure it out. Have a great week, Peace Joy and Love Danny
