The Monday brief

October 6th, 2008 | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0) |

Highlight of the week: I got an iPhone 3G last Wednesday. I’m now convinced that you can’t fully understand the amazingness of the iPhone until you actually own one. It’s unreal.

Book(s) I’m reading: I started Reading Paul by Michael Gorman this week (in preparation for the Reclaiming Paul conference), and I’m still working on Tom Friedman’s Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution — and How It Can Renew America.

Music I’m digging: William Fitzsimmons’ The Sparrow and the Crow (link opens in iTunes) is easily one of the best — if not the best — albums I’ve heard all year. Get it. Now.

Something(s) that blew my mind: The Clovis school board in New Mexico is taking control of the yearbook to make sure that they don’t include lesbian couples in a section of the yearbook on couples at the school.

Ministry update: The high school students started learning about the Lectio Divina this week.

Seminary/ordination update: Once I mail my personal essay into Luther Seminary, I’m done with the application.

Looking forward to: I’m going to Chicago later this week (Thursday through Saturday) to visit my friend Kelly. In addition to having an all-around good time, I’ll be able to catch up on podcasts while I drive.

That’s it for the Monday brief. Feel free to leave a comment, and if you’re feeling extra frisky, check out the Monday brief archives.
