Pep Squad

I finally joined the club and saw the musical known as "Wicked" last night and it was amazing!  Their voices and gifts are incredible and now I know why so many people are so obsessed with the show! My mom and I had a great time eating dinner downtown and then watching the show and I realized just how blessed I am to have such a healthy amazing family.  We definitely have our ups and downs and probably have experienced more than most of the suburban families I live among but when it comes down to it I can only smile and reflect on how strong we have become.  I think the Lord gives us family because He wants us to enjoy the beautiful coexistence and unity that He has with the Holy Spirit and Christ.  I was reading The Shack by WM. Paul Young and also saw this unity.  I can't believe there was such an uprising about this book and why so many people criticized it on being blasphemous since the author clearly wrote it as a fictional story and really was not trying to create such a ruckus.  While reading it I discovered how wonderful the existence of unity among the Trinity and how beautifully equal the three are. My view on how the trinity works was changed and not because I am now following the beliefs of Mr. Young but because I believe his image of how the Trinity works is quite possibly the most clarifying I have ever heard.  We are supposed to work like that and in a perfect world I know there would be beautiful peace among all of us because each one would not be higher than the rest but work together as a team.  I sound like a pep squad leader all the time I know but I don't really care because what I believe is that the only way to find this peace is by following the example set by the Trinity and discovering just how we were created to work before sin took over our lives.
