Highlight of the week: I have had a blast at the the last several days. My presentation went really well, but the highlight has surely been meeting new people (like Bethany from , Assistant to the Bishop , and ) and getting to know people in even better.
Book(s) I'm reading: On the flights to New Orleans, I finished 's and got about a third of the way through by Stanley Hauerwas and Jean Vanier.
Music I'm digging: (link opens in iTunes) by Wideawake and the by The Daylights.
Something(s) that blew my mind: During 's workshop on pop culture, he played by Green Day and U2 and encourage us to use the time as a . After watching, myself and the people around me were literally speechless.
Oh, and last Wednesday's episode of LOST was insane.
Ministry update: Brandon Mick has at St. Mark. Although we have completely different job descriptions, we have hit the ground running on a couple of really exciting projects. A new audio/visual era has begun. Nerds unite!
Seminary/ordination update: After being denied acceptance into Luther Seminary this past fall, I was pitched on the very program for which I applied upwards of five times at the Extravaganza this week. Oh, the irony.
Looking forward to: Retrieving my guitar from the guitar shop (again), LOST, and beginning Saturday evening worship at St. Mark.
