Highlight of the week: Last weekend and I drove to St. Paul to see play a show, which was totally bizarre because a) the bouncer let us in for free (it was a $10 show) and b) there were less than 25 people there. Even so, they put on a great show. If only I had received my new camera by then.
Book(s) I'm reading: I finished by Dave Eggers and at this point I think I am okay saying that it's my least favorite work by Eggers. You see, I usually love anything he writes, but I feel like there was something missing from this novel. Anyway, I've moved on to by Steven Johnson.
Music I'm digging: For the past couple of weeks, I have almost exclusively been listening to by Green River Ordinance, which is a phenomenal pop/rock album, and by The Alternate Routes.
Something(s) that blew my mind: I just want to be a fly on the wall in and soak up every ounce of songwriting goodness.
Ministry update: We're super busy getting ready for the First Annual St. Mark Sale Barn and Silent Auction, which is less than a month away. Lots of things need to come together for it to be a success; and while I'm really nervous about it, I have faith that it will turn out to be a fantastic fundraising event.
Myself and most of the staff at St. Mark are going to the mini-conference this Saturday. I'm indifferent about it.
Also, Brandon and I are busy putting together the next several videos for Lenten small groups. Here's Chapter 3:
Seminary/ordination update: Nothing new to report.
Looking forward to: I'm looking forward to a normal week. I don't have any extra meetings or anything, so I'm hopeful that I can be really productive.
