The Monday brief

January 12th, 2009 | Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0) |

Highlight of the week: Ireland totally lived up to my expectations. Fun fact: It didn’t rain at all while we were there. No joke. I’m not sure when I’ll get around to editing/uploading the last video from the trip. Bear with me.

Book(s) I’m reading: I read St. Patrick of Ireland: A Biography on the plane rides and intermittently throughout the week. Right now I’m reading What Would Jesus Deconstruct? because it’s been sitting on my shelf for a while, but mostly in preparation for my workshop at the Extravaganza in a few weeks.

Music I’m digging: I’ve been trying to get into the album Dynamo (link opens in iTunes) by Faded Paper Figures (think Postal Service), but I’m not sure I like it.

Something(s) that blew my mind: This video from Peter Rollins. It fits it really well with things I’ve been reading/researching/thinking about as of late:

Ministry update: We’re back to a bit of normalcy after the holidays, which is nice. Lots of stuff coming up, though. I’m chipping away at a rather ambitious idea which I hope to flesh out on this blog in time.

Seminary/ordination update: Nothing new to report, but there may be some very exciting things happening in the next several weeks. Stay tuned.

Looking forward to: Getting back into the swing of things at work.
