The Monday brief

February 23rd, 2009 | Comments (2) | Trackbacks (0) |

Highlight of the week: Even though I’m less than excited to be 25, I had a great birthday weekend. It was so great, in fact, that I fell out of a booth. Thank you to all my friends and family who made it awesome.

Book(s) I’m reading: Well, now I’m in the middle of five books. The two that I added in addition to last week’s are You Shall Know Our Velocity! which I picked up because it was the only Dave Eggers book I didn’t own and hadn’t read (I’m halfway through it), and Theological Reflection: The Creation of Spiritual Power in the Information Age by Edward O. de Bary.

Music I’m digging: Still digging The Fray.

Something(s) that blew my mind: It didn’t necessarily blow my mind, but this picture has been stuck in my head for a couple of days now… I’m not sure why, but I really love it.

Ministry update: Our junior high and high school ministries will be doing the H2O Project during Lent. Although I’m not looking forward to two weeks sans coffee, I am looking forward to seeing how it plays out. I think it could be really sweet.

And, for your viewing pleasure, here are the first couple of videos that Brandon and I made for St. Mark’s Lenten small groups.

Seminary/ordination update: Nothing new to report.

Looking forward to: The Cubs’ first spring training game is on Wednesday (go Cubs!), and I’m going to see Green River Ordinance in Minneapolis on Friday night.

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.
