The Monday brief

September 15th, 2008 | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0) |

Highlight of the week: I had a pretty good week, but Carolos Zambrano’s no-hitter for the Cubs on Sunday night pretty much topped it off.

Book(s) I’m reading: I’m still reading How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie. I’m also a ways into Tom Friedman’s Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution — and How It Can Renew America, which I’m reading with a couple of friends.

Music I’m digging: Peter Bradley Adams, Leavetaking (link opens in iTunes)

Something that blew my mind: Did I already mention Carlos Zambrano’s no-hitter?

Ministry update: CREW and Eikon both started last week and they were both lots of fun! Next summer my high school students will be going to the ELCA Youth Gathering in New Orleans, and registration opened Monday “morning” at 12:01am. By the time I was done registering my group at 1:30am, more than 10,000 of the 36,000 spots had already been registered. I registered 26 students and 5 adults, which I’m super excited about.

Seminary/ordination update: Not much to update here. I’m working on getting my recommendations into Luther Seminary, and I have a couple of other things to do before my application is complete.

Looking forward to: At this very moment, I’m looking forward to seeing Burn After Reading in a little bit.
