2A THE CHOWAN HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14,2018 YOUNG . Continued from 1A : sacrifice, perfection. He was willing to beat his own son to obtain perfection. “Jesus came to save me from God, the father,” he said of his early belief as a Christian. “Jesus would stand between me and God, so he wouldn’t know what a worthless piece of trash I am.” This version of God made safety the driving force of Young’s life. He created a version of himself to fit whatever was needed to win people’s approval. It took 11 years and the in troduction of his wife, Kim, and her family into his life to change this perception. In his speeches, Young called this period his “construc tion and deconstruction.” It ■ was during this time that he learned God is love. In “The Shack,” this loving God is first depicted as an African- American woman. Young said the women he grew up around during his youth were the people “who build the bridges I walked my path on.” Later in the book, God is ■ identified as a man. “I was 50 before I was able to wash the face of my father off the face of God,” he said. It also took a very hard fall. As Young worked on Iris “construction and decon struction,” he was faced with what many people face — a financial crisis. He had hid how bad it was from his wife and was about to lose eveiything. So he prayed and fasted, seeking God’s answer. On the fifth day of his fast, he got his answer. Young called his friends and said, “Whatever happens, don’t bail me out.” They were by his side at the courthouse as his home of 17 years was sold at auction. During those several years after the auction, when Young was working three jobs, that he started writing “The Shack.” It was originally meant to be a way for his family and friends to , understand how he thinks. ; He condensed the transfor mation from those 11 years to the one weekend depict ed in “The Shack.” WANT TO HEAR YOUNG SPEAK? ■ To listen to Paul Young’s presentations, visit the fol lowing websites: ■ St. Paul Q&A: https:// soundcloud.com/rectorst- pauls ■ Edenton Baptist: https:// youtu.be/tzl-eLJDmOM In 2007, it became a novel with an original printing of 15 copies given to friend and family members. Those friends passed it on to their friends, who passed it on to their friends. People started taking notice. Some people in Hollywood loved his book, but it wasn’t a bestseller or published by a real publish ing house. After pitching it to several secular and Chris tian publishing companies — and being turned down — they published it them selves. Fast forward a few years, and it has sold over 20 million copies. It was turned into a motion picture that came out in 2017. All of this, Young said, wasn’t anything he dreamed of — “eveiything that hap pened because of this book has been a surprise.” Writing for him is a “way of letting the inside world out.” He had done it a lot, but most of his writings prior to “The Shack” had been destroyed. This path that led Young to Edenton was created by God. The book, in its sim plest parable form, is a look at the goodness of God and trusting in him. He cites examples of how people loose focus on God and his plan for us in the concept of future-tripping: Imagining various scenarios to prepare for what’s ahead. When you look ahead like that, Young says, you take God out of the equation. You lose trust in him. That’s why Young now tends to live for the “Grace of the Day.” “When you live in the day, you become more recep tive to God’s plan.... Joy be comes a constant compan ion,” he said. “God doesn’t live in imaginations. God is here. “When you move from your head to your heart, you move into trust.” Cavanagh Ringel-man Certi^w# Public toauolanw PC CAVANAGH RINGELMAN Certified Public Accountants PC Tax Return Preparation Planning & Budgeting Accounting & Auditing Services Business Effectiveness Business Coaching "One good idea... ...every time we talk!” P.O.

She was employed as an Executive Secre tary in the Parkway School District and later by the Eighth Circuit US Court of Appeals in St. Louis. In 1983 she accompanied Rich for a year in New port, RI while he attended the Naval War College. While in Newport she enjoyed the excitement of the last America’s Cup race ever held there. Her early travels included a VW “Beetle” camp ing trip to the Expo 67 World’s Fair in Montreal. While on that trip, Laura was informed that she would soon have a new baby sibling who turned out to be her brother Rich. Judy loved exploring our Colonial heritage and family genealogy in New England. Favorite places were Newport, Boston, Williamsburg, and Monticello. Judy and Rich moved from St. Louis to Wash ington, DC in 1989 where Rich was appointed Di rector of International Operations for the Defense Mapping Agency. They retired in 1998 to Edenton, NC where they restored the first Mill Village house purchased from Preservation North Carolina at 412 Phillips Street. While in Edenton, she was ac tive in Republican politics, originally in the com bined Chowan-Perquimans women’s group and lat er in the Chowan County GOP.

Beginning in 2000, they spent their summers in Seattle with their families and parts of the winter in Florida. Since both children were now living in the Seattle area they finally moved to their current Redmond home in 2015. Her greatest joy, however, was her grandchil dren (and everyone else’s grandchildren!). She could never get enough of babies and loved point ing them out wherever she saw them.
