Karey's Overflow: The Shack and felted image & etc

About Me

Name: Karey

Location: Colorado, United States

I garden at 8000 feet, cook from scratch, needle felt, read books continually, study history and epistemology, write daily, contemplate spiritual theology, and pursue heirloom arts. I love to paint pictures of living beyond maintenance -- living creatively, discovering beauty in everyday ordinary things. I've been happily married to Monte, who is a geologist, for a long time and still very much in love, even after raising a family and building two houses. Our children are our best friends. Heather is newly married to Bill. Travis, a minister of the fine arts, is married to Sarah. And Dawson is in college. I naturally live first-hand and have recently realized that this is how we educated our children and ourselves. I love to learn about everything, teach, and work with my hands. I love my home, but my life has overflowed -- as a teacher, radio/conference/retreat speaker, author, and most recently as a MOPS mentor. Kareyswan.com is an ideal way for me to share my overflowing life with kindred spirits and those hungering to move beyond maintenance -- to be known by who they are, not just by what they do.

The Shack and felted image & etc

I finished re-reading The Shack this week - the last 2/3. Everyone needs to read that part more than once. Should I give a book report/summary?

I got a great idea for a needlefelted sculpture I'm going to do soon. Once done, I'll post a picture.

Monte's home from Arizona. It snowed a bit last night. We're imagining Spring things to do. In fact, this is the month to clean out birdhouses.

Laura said...: Yes, please. A bit of The Shack summary would help me to determine if I should read it. I don't know you, yet I do....
and would value your commentary.

You have helped me set up my kitchen and helped to shape my homemaker's heart through Hearth & Home. Years ago, you and Monte watered my heart at a home school conference.
Now, I have your blog and what a joy to see your family grow and hear how God has grown you over the years.
Two Questions for The Shack:
What, of God, is in this book?
Has it drawn you closer to Him?
Gratefully~
