Highlight of the week: The First Annual St. Mark Sale Barn & Silent Auction was an amazing success. In addition to raising 20% more than our goal, the event was unbelievably fun -- at one point I was laughing so hard I was in tears. Oh, and it's wonderful to have the Cubs playing regular season baseball.
Book(s) I'm reading: I finished by Steven Johnson which was interesting but not incredible, and I'm now reading by Henry Emmons. I wrestled with depression in college, and never took the time to actually understand the disease. I'm only 60 or 70 pages in, and it's already eye-opening. I also picked up Bill Bryson's for my bedtime reading.
Music I'm digging: (link opens in iTunes) by Greg Laswell. If you like indie rock, you'll like this album.
Something(s) that blew my mind: of a guy beatboxing while playing a kalimba.
Ministry update: As I said earlier, the auction was a total success. And since we just served our annual Easter breakfast, all of our fundraising for the summer trip to New Orleans is finished. Phwew!
Seminary/ordination update: Nothing new to report.
Looking forward to: I am extremely excited for the silent retreat at the end of this week. I'll post more on it later.

Let me know how using "A Walk In the Woods" for bedtime reading works out for you. I loved that book, but I don't think I'd necessarily recommend it for trying to sleep.
Really, really great photo, Jake!
BTW – if you come to Chicago for a game, or for any reason, let me know. I would love to get together for a coffee or a brew. Or join you at a game. ; )
