What to post about. What to post about. Well, we went camping last night. And I am not sure if I’m really alive this morning…er, afternoon. I got about 45 minutes of sleep. Rachel got about an hour. She’s konked out right now. I got about three hours earlier in the day. I smell like woodsmoke.
I noticed this on Barlow’s blog. My presbyterian pastor is involved in this somehow. I remember him telling me something would happen this summer. *sigh* I don’t really have the energy to comment on it.
Rachel and I finally worked on a registry. We didn’t really find a playard that we liked there.
I’ve gotten a lot of reading done lately. Several books a week. I can’t really remember anything I read more than a week ago, but I’ll comment on what I can think of. I wasn’t really impressed with Robert Webber’s Ancient Future-Evangelism and Blended Worship as much as I’ve liked his other stuff. I will also recommend skipping She Can’t Even Play The Piano!: Insights For Ministry Wives.
I strongly recommend Loving Homosexuals As Jesus Would: A Fresh Christian Approach.
A Season in the Desert: Making Time Holy and A Table in the Desert: Making Space Holy are both okay. They have great insights, but the writing can be cumbersome for the style in which it’s written. W. Paul Jones has a unique perspective being that he’s a former Methodist pastor with teaching experience at Yale and Princeton who is now a von Trappist monk. If you are interested in the subjects, the insights are worth the read. They’ve been especially fun for me because he makes a lot of analogies concerning life using the image of a baby in the womb.
I just started Ecotherapy: Healing Ourselves, Healing the Earth. I can’t wait to get some sleep so that I can enjoy reading.
I’ve picked up all sorts of cheap books here in Spokane, including Bard Thompson’s Liturgies of the Western Church for a quarter.
I hope this post made a little grammatical sense.

I certainly understood your “stutterings”, and given the amount you’re reading, I’m not surprised that you would question your coherence.
I’m curious about “Ecotherapy”. Will you post something about it — even just a short thumbs-up, thumbs-down review? I’m always curious to hear what the Church is saying about environmental stewardship. Sad to say, I’m a bit skittish, given the nonsense about What Jesus Would Drive.

Did you know that you posted this like, 4 times…?

Hey, FYI, but while using a Mac and Safari, and after clicking through one of your links, the text all but disappears upon returning. That is, that “post-click” color is nearly identical to your background. Not sure you saw that or not, but it is at least in Safari.
