Hello again everyone! I know I have been gone for too long and I plan on changing that right now with the new year. I have been working on some posts and hope to put them here. These are a few of the things I have been working on.

I just finished The Shack by William P. Young. I plan to post some thoughts on this very soon, both good and bad. I would love to hear what you thought of the book.

I still plan on posting on several movies. One is Doubt which Pam and I just saw on Saturday. Very interesting and worth some of our time. I also want to talk about some older movies. Be looking for them.

I have started reading The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling. This is a part of the Harry Potter universe and should make for some good discussion.

I am open to other thoughts from all of you, but these are the ones I am starting with. Interspersed in these posts I will be posting some thoughts on the gospel that I have been working on as well as an extended discussion of the book Total Church. If you have not read that book, I would recommend it. While you may not agree with everything in it, the idea of wrestling with the things presented in it will be helpful for all of us.

Thanks for your patience as we have transitioned to two children and a busy time in the church I pastor.

Have a great week and look for new posts.

In Him, Michael
