The Monday brief

November 17th, 2008 | Comments (1) | Trackbacks (0) |

Highlight of the week: I ran into Brandon Barker at Caribou Coffee on Friday afternoon and we ended up having a great conversation. One thing led to another and we ended up going on a date to see Quantum of Solace on Saturday evening. It was (almost) just like old times.

Book(s) I’m reading: Still reading Downtown Owl by Chuck Klosterman. I managed to squeeze in 10 or so pages at the doctor’s office today.

Music I’m digging: Surprisingly, I haven’t listened to a whole lot of music this past week. Any suggestions?

Something(s) that blew my mind: Feel like flying around virtually in a meticulously reconstructed ancient Rome? Go ahead.

Ministry update: This past Sunday I debuted a new song written exclusively for St. Mark for our current sermon series. We’ll be singing it as a congregation for the next several weeks and (hopefully) well into the future. The plan is to compose original worship songs in line with whatever sermon series is coming up. As soon as I get a decent recording, I’ll release the song on this blog for general consumption — not because I’m egotistical enough to believe many people will want to use it in their community, but because I’m naïve enough to think somebody might.

Seminary/ordination update: TBA.

Looking forward to: Seeing a bunch of good friends this weekend and playing a show at Mars Cafe on Friday night. You should come.
