If you have been alive past 18, and often before, you have been bruised and smothered by events, people, and circumstances. One of the promises about Jesus is that he will not break a bruised reed, nor snuff out a smouldering wick. Hang in there. God loves us.

The Shack
A board member for Stadia recently recommended "The Shack". It is a book that should be read by all. It deals with our road to God on so many levels. For the purposes of this blog, it deals with the question, "Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?" or the question of evil. The technical term for this is a theodicy-- like the book of Job, it causes us to lift the cover off our pain and look at what is going on behind the scenes in the heavenlies. It is not the Bible and thus it most likely does not describe God fully or possibly even accurately--who of us can, but it will make you think about God. It will also help you put your own pain in perspective. For some comments and preview you can go to http://www.theshackbook.com/index.html
